EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• Built for S&B Convex rail scopes: This version is made for optics with the S&B Convex Rail interface, giving a secure, precisely aligned connection without separate rings.
• Rifle-specific fit: The mount is configured for the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL platform, helping maintain proper fit and dependable function on the intended action.
• Steel construction: A steel build favors long-term durability and dimensional stability, especially on hunting rifles that see repeated recoil, field use and frequent optic changes.
• Made in Germany: German manufacture reflects EAW’s long focus on precision mounting systems, where tight tolerances and consistent lock-up matter as much as the optic itself.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are built around a long-established concept that EAW introduced more than 50 years ago. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns where shooters want the flexibility to remove an optic and reinstall it later without changing the rifle’s zero. That makes the system especially relevant for hunting rifles used with more than one sighting setup, or for owners who want to alternate between a daytime riflescope and another aiming device.

A defining characteristic of the series is its repeatable mounting interface, combined with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits. In practice, this gives the gunsmith a way to tune the fit for secure lock-up and consistent repositioning. Within the wider EAW lineup, pivot mounts sit as one of the company’s core mount categories and remain a practical choice for traditional sporting rifles. The design philosophy is mechanical rather than electronic: strong materials, precise engagement surfaces and a system that supports repeated removal and reattachment while preserving the rifle’s handling and sighting consistency.

About the EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL

This EAW pivot mount is a rifle-specific solution for the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL and related Schultz & Larsen actions, built to accept scopes with the S&B Convex Rail interface. Instead of using conventional scope rings, the rail-based layout gives a clean, direct connection to compatible optics, which helps preserve alignment and simplifies the mounting of premium rail-equipped riflescopes.

The main advantage of this configuration is how it combines quick optic removal with repeatable reattachment. For a hunting rifle, that matters when the scope must be removed for transport, replaced with another optic, or taken off to access the rifle more easily during maintenance. Because the pivot system is designed around consistent lock-up, the rifle can return to service without the uncertainty that often comes with less precise detachable mounts.

The use of steel supports the mount’s role as a hard-wearing interface between rifle and optic. Steel resists wear at the contact points and helps the mount maintain its fit over time, which is important on a detachable system expected to open and close repeatedly. As part of the EAW mount family, this model suits shooters who value a traditional, mechanically precise mounting solution for a classic European hunting rifle and a rail-mounted Schmidt & Bender scope.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its primary focus. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the sporting optics world, where precise fit and repeatable alignment are essential.

Over time, EAW expanded its range to include pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts for riflescopes. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. The company remains closely associated with German-made mounting systems and also offers thermal imaging products, but its core identity is still built around durable, mechanically precise scope mounts for hunting and shooting applications.
