EAW Rear and Front Base for Picatinny/Weaver

• Two-piece base set: The separate rear and front base layout keeps the mounting interface compact while providing a stable platform for compatible EAW top components.
• EAW Ø 7 mm interface: This base is built around EAW’s modular system, making it easier to pair the rifle-side base with matching upper components and adapt the setup to different optics.
• Picatinny/Weaver compatibility: Designed for rifles and platforms that use Picatinny or Weaver-style rails, it gives a practical way to add an EAW mounting solution without changing the underlying rail format.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down while still providing the rigidity needed for a secure optic mounting foundation on sporting and tactical rifles.
• 0 MOA inclination: A neutral base angle suits general-purpose sighting setups and keeps the optic aligned for standard zeroing distances without adding built-in cant.

About the - Series

EAW modular mounting components are built around the idea that a scope mount should be adaptable, repeatable and easy to configure for different rifles and optics. Within the company’s broader lineup, these parts serve shooters who need a practical way to combine a rifle-specific lower interface with matching upper components, rather than committing to a fixed one-piece arrangement. That approach is especially useful when the same rifle may be used with different sighting systems or when a mounting setup needs to be tailored around rail type, optic size or application.

The defining characteristic of this family is system compatibility. EAW’s modular design philosophy allows the lower base and the upper mount components to work as part of one coordinated platform, with an emphasis on precise fit, repeatable positioning and long-term serviceability. In practice, that makes these components relevant for both classic hunting rifles and more modern tactical or precision platforms. Instead of adding unnecessary complexity, the system focuses on a clean mechanical interface, durable materials and a layout that supports dependable optic installation under regular field use.

About the EAW Rear and Front Base for Picatinny/Weaver

The EAW Rear and Front Base for Picatinny/Weaver is a lower mounting component intended for shooters who want to integrate the EAW Ø 7 mm interface with a rifle or chassis that already uses a Picatinny or Weaver rail. That makes it a useful option for modern bolt-action rifles, tactical platforms and specialist sporting rifles where the owner wants the flexibility of the EAW system without replacing the existing rail standard. Because it is a two-piece base set, it keeps the mounting area compact and leaves the rifle’s upper profile less crowded than some full-length solutions.

The use of aluminium construction helps reduce unnecessary weight, which matters on rifles that are carried over distance or already equipped with heavier optics and accessories. At the same time, the base still provides the stable contact surface needed for a secure upper mounting assembly. The 0 MOA inclination makes this version a straightforward choice for conventional zeroing and general-purpose shooting applications, where built-in cant is not required. For the shooter, that means a simpler setup process and a neutral starting point for mounting a compatible optic.

Compatibility is the real strength here. This base is intended to work with a wide range of rifles and rail-equipped platforms, including selected models from Accuracy International, Anschutz, Baikal, Beretta, Benelli and CZ. In practical terms, it gives owners of those rifles a route into the EAW ecosystem while preserving the familiar Picatinny/Weaver foundation already present on the firearm.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. In 1923, he acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951, mount development and production have been its main focus. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the optics-mounting field.

Today, EAW is based in Eibelstadt, Germany, following the move of production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970. The company is known for pivot mounts, as well as slide-on or roll-off and claw mount systems for riflescopes. More recently, EAW has also expanded into tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products, but precision mechanical mounting systems remain the core of the brand’s identity.
