EAW XS pivot mount, 30 mm, Benelli Argo Spec.

• Repeatable quick-detach design: The EAW XS pivot mount lets a riflescope be removed and reattached without changing the rifle’s zero, which is useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• 30 mm scope interface: Built for 30 mm scope tubes, this version suits many popular hunting riflescopes and gives a secure, purpose-made fit instead of relying on adapters.
• Steel construction: The steel build favors long-term rigidity and wear resistance, helping the mount stay stable under recoil and repeated on-off use in the field.
• Adjustable windage: With windage adjustment built into the mount, alignment can be fine-tuned during installation, which helps achieve a clean setup on the rifle and scope combination.
• Benelli Argo-specific fit: This configuration is made for the Benelli Argo platform, giving a dedicated interface for a secure installation on the correct rifle family.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are a long-established part of the company’s hunting and sporting rifle lineup, with the design in use for more than 50 years. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns where shooters want the flexibility to remove an optic and reinstall it later while maintaining the original point of impact. That makes the system especially practical for hunters who alternate between a daytime riflescope and a second aiming device, or who prefer to remove the scope for transport and storage.

A defining trait of the series is its pivoting quick-detach layout, combined with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits. In practical use, this gives the mount the repeatability expected from a traditional steel hunting mount while also allowing careful fitting to the rifle and optic setup. Within the wider EAW range, pivot mounts sit as a classic solution for shooters who value mechanical precision, repeatable reattachment and compatibility with many popular rifle models.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, 30 mm, Benelli Argo Spec.

The EAW XS pivot mount, 30 mm, Benelli Argo Spec. is a dedicated pivot-mount solution for shooters using a Benelli ARGO or related compatible rifle with a 30 mm riflescope. Its main advantage is not simply that it holds an optic, but that it does so in a way that supports repeatable removal and reinstallation. For a hunting rifle, that matters when one setup must cover different roles, such as using one scope for general stalking and another sighting system for a different season or lighting condition.

The mount uses a steel construction, which suits a recoil-bearing interface where rigidity and long service life matter more than minimizing every gram. Steel also supports the precise engagement surfaces that a pivot system depends on for consistent return to zero. The inclusion of adjustable windage adds practical value during setup, allowing the installer to refine alignment at the mount rather than forcing all correction through the riflescope’s internal adjustment range.

Because this version is built around a 30 mm scope tube and a Benelli Argo-specific interface, it is aimed at users who want a traditional detachable hunting mount matched to a specific rifle family rather than a universal one-size-fits-all solution. The result is a mount that prioritizes repeat precision, secure fit and straightforward optic changes in the field.

About EAW

EAW began in 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later took the EAW name after Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt in 1923, and riflescope mounts became a central part of its identity after the company developed its first such mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus.

Today, EAW is known for German-made mounting systems for hunting and sporting rifles, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts. The company also produces thermal imaging devices, but its reputation in this category rests on long experience with precise, repeatable riflescope mounting solutions. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany.
