Rusan Front Pivot Base for Mauser K98 (Without Bulb), Zastava M70

• Steel front base: The all-steel construction gives the pivot mount a rigid foundation, helping the optic return to the same position after removal and reattachment.
• Made for Mauser-pattern actions: This front pivot base is shaped for Mauser K98 actions without bulb and the Zastava M70, so it matches the receiver geometry used on these rifles.
• 0 MOA inclination: A flat mounting angle keeps the setup straightforward for standard hunting and general-purpose rifle configurations without adding cant.
• Part of the Rusan Pivot Mounts system: It works within Rusan’s pivot-mount platform, making it suitable for users who want a detachable optics setup built around matching upper parts and bases.
• Compact front mounting element: As a dedicated spare part for a pivot-mount system, it lets the rifle be configured or serviced without replacing the entire mount assembly.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are built as a modular family of firearm optics mounts for shooters who want a detachable scope setup with a traditional pivoting layout. Within the range, Rusan offers variants for different rifle interfaces, including model-specific solutions as well as versions for platforms such as 11 mm prisms and Picatinny rails. That broad compatibility makes the series relevant both for classic hunting rifles and for more modern rifle configurations.

A defining characteristic of the series is its steel construction and quick-release fixation, which suit users who remove optics for transport, maintenance, or switching between sighting systems. The line includes complete pivot mounts with rings for common scope tube diameters such as 26 (25.4), 30, 34, 36, and 40 mm, alongside versions supplied without bases for more specialized setups. Across the series, the design focuses on a secure mechanical fit, repeatable attachment, and rifle-specific geometry, which is why Rusan also catalogs pivot-mount options for established rifle makes and models including Anschutz and Antonio Zoli.

About the Rusan Front Pivot Base for Mauser K98 (Without Bulb), Zastava M70

The Rusan Front Pivot Base for Mauser K98 (Without Bulb), Zastava M70 is a model-specific mounting component for rifles built on the classic Mauser-pattern action. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides the front anchoring point for a compatible Rusan pivot-mount setup, allowing the upper mount assembly to hinge and lock into place correctly. Because this part is made specifically for Mauser 98 actions without bulb and the Zastava M70 bolt action, it is intended for users who need the right base geometry rather than a universal fit.

The use of steel construction matters in practice because the front base carries mechanical stress every time the mount is attached, detached, or returned to battery. A rigid steel base helps maintain alignment and supports the repeatability expected from a pivot system. The black finish keeps the part visually discreet on a hunting rifle and matches the appearance of traditional steel actions and mount components.

With 0 MOA inclination, this base is suited to standard scope mounting where no built-in cant is required. As part of the Rusan Pivot Mounts family, it is best suited to shooters building, replacing, or servicing a detachable optics setup on compatible Mauser-type rifles, especially where a correct front base is essential to the function of the complete pivot mount.

About Rusan

Rusan grew from the Rusan family’s metalworking business established in 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the company began producing scope mounts in 1993, building its reputation around precisely machined components for sporting and hunting firearms. Based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, Rusan-Mikron focuses on practical mounting solutions and related firearm accessories.

The company’s range includes scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, along with adapter systems for modern electro-optics. Rusan is also known for adapter clamps for clip-on sights and for adapters used with night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. In 2009, the company introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp, reflecting its emphasis on mechanical compatibility between rifles and optics. That background is directly relevant to products such as pivot bases and other model-specific mounting parts, where fit and machining consistency matter most.
