MAKflex One-Piece Pivot Mount for Merkel, Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail

• One-piece pivot construction: The single-piece layout keeps the optic interface aligned as one unit, which helps maintain a consistent fit on a break-action rifle and simplifies installation compared with multi-part solutions.
• Merkel pivot-system compatibility: Built for the Merkel Pivot System, this mount suits rifles that use that traditional attachment pattern and gives a secure, repeatable platform for a scope with the correct rail interface.
• Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail interface: The mount is made for optics with the S&B Convex Rail, eliminating the need for separate rings and providing a clean, low-profile connection between rifle and scope.
• Low 4.00 mm build height: A low mounting height helps keep the sight line close to the bore, which supports a more natural cheek weld and a more balanced rifle setup in the field.
• Aluminium body: The aluminium construction keeps weight under control while still providing the rigidity needed in a hunting mount that must handle regular transport, repeated mounting, and outdoor use.

About the MAKflex Series

MAKflex is MAK’s pivot bridge mount series for rifles and break-action firearms, developed for shooters who want a traditional pivot-style solution with broader optic-interface flexibility. The series is built around a modular concept, allowing different configurations for scope tubes and optic connections such as Picatinny, Zeiss, Swarovski, and Aimpoint Micro, as well as rail-based scope formats used on European hunting optics.

A key characteristic of the MAKflex series is that it is offered with different pivot-foot options for specific rifle platforms, along with either a rotating lock or lever lock depending on the model. That makes the family suitable for a wide range of hunting rifles and break-action guns where a compact, detachable mount is preferred. The series also includes versions for EAW base plates, Merkel mounts, Leupold Quick Release bases, and original Steyr mounts, plus a shorter variant known as MAKflex Short. In practice, MAKflex is aimed at hunters who need a mount that matches classic rifle actions while still accommodating modern scope interfaces.

About the MAKflex One-Piece Pivot Mount for Merkel, Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail

The MAKflex One-Piece Pivot Mount for Merkel, Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail is a dedicated hunting mount for combining a Merkel Pivot System rifle with a scope that uses the S&B Convex Rail interface. Its purpose is straightforward: to provide a direct, model-specific connection between rifle and optic without adding unnecessary bulk or relying on separate ring assemblies. That direct rail fit helps keep the setup tidy, mechanically simple, and well suited to rifles where handling and balance matter as much as optical performance.

The one-piece design contributes to consistent alignment across the mount, which is especially useful on a pivot system where repeatable positioning is important each time the optic is fitted. Because the mount is made from aluminium, it keeps overall weight moderate while still offering the stiffness expected from a field mount on a hunting rifle. The low 4.00 mm build height is another practical advantage, helping position the scope closer to the bore for a more natural head position and a cleaner overall profile.

This MAKflex configuration is best suited to shooters who already use, or plan to use, a Schmidt & Bender rail-mounted scope on a compatible Merkel platform and want a purpose-built pivot mount rather than a universal workaround. The result is a mounting solution focused on fit, low mounting height, and compatibility with established European hunting rifle and scope standards.
