EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Heym SR 40

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the optic be removed and reattached without changing point of impact, which is valuable when switching between optics or transporting the rifle.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for a secure interface between rifle and scope, helping the setup stay consistent over long-term use.
• S&B Convex Rail interface: Built specifically for Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail optics, this top configuration gives a precise, purpose-made fit instead of relying on separate rings.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The pivot-mount system uses adjustable front and rear foot fits, allowing careful installation and helping the mount lock up with the repeatability expected from a detachable hunting optics setup.
• Application-specific lower part: This version is made for the Heym SR 40, giving a dedicated rifle-to-optic connection rather than a universal compromise.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established answer for shooters who want a detachable riflescope mount without giving up repeatability. EAW states that it developed and launched this system more than 50 years ago, and the design remains one of the brand’s core mount categories. The concept is straightforward: the scope can be removed and reattached while maintaining the rifle’s zero, which makes the system especially useful for hunters who alternate between different optics or need clear access to iron sights.

A defining feature of the series is the adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit. This allows the mount to be set up with the precise engagement needed for a secure lock-up and consistent return to position. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns, and it also suits users who want a second scope or another aiming device on the same firearm. Within the broader EAW lineup, pivot mounts stand out for combining a traditional detachable format with a modular approach that supports different upper parts and rifle-specific lower components.

About the EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Heym SR 40

This EAW pivot mount is configured for a Schmidt & Bender Convex Rail optic and a Heym SR 40 rifle platform, making it a dedicated mounting solution for shooters who want a clean, rifle-specific installation. Because the upper part is designed around the Convex Rail interface, it avoids the extra bulk and alignment variables that can come with separate ring-based setups. That makes it particularly suitable for premium hunting optics built on this rail standard.

The practical strength of this model lies in the way the pivot system combines detachable use with repeatable positioning. A scope can be taken off for transport, storage, or replacement with another sighting system, then reinstalled with the consistency expected from a properly fitted pivot mount. For hunters, that matters when one rifle is used across changing light conditions, terrain, or seasons.

The mount is made from steel, which is important in a component that must hold optical alignment under recoil and repeated handling. Steel also supports the long service life expected from a traditional pivot-mount design. As part of the EAW system, this model benefits from the series’ adjustable mount-foot fit, helping the lock-up feel precise and mechanically secure. The result is a mount aimed at shooters who value a solid interface, a low-profile rail-based scope connection, and the flexibility to remove and refit the optic when needed.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later adopted the EAW name from Ernst Apel Würzburg, and it developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the field of hunting optics and riflescope mounting systems.

The company is known for producing pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts, with a product range built around rifle-specific fit and repeatable scope positioning. EAW has also expanded into thermal imaging cameras, but its name remains closely associated with precision mounting solutions made in Germany. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany.
