EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Mauser 2000, 3000

• Pivot design: The mount lets the optic be removed and reattached in a repeatable way, which is useful when switching between a riflescope and another aiming solution without giving up a familiar zero.
• Swarovski SR rail interface: The dedicated SR rail top fits compatible rail-mounted optics directly, giving a clean installation and secure alignment without separate scope rings.
• Steel construction: A steel build adds the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a hunting rifle mount that may see frequent removal, reinstallation and field use over many seasons.
• Rifle-specific fit: This version is made for the Mauser 2000 and Mauser 3000 platform, helping achieve the correct interface between rifle and optic rather than relying on a universal compromise.
• Made in Germany: German manufacture reflects EAW’s long focus on precision mounting systems, with attention to fit and mechanical consistency that matters in a detachable mount.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are built around a long-established detachable mounting concept that EAW says it developed and launched more than 50 years ago. Within the company’s mount range, the series serves shooters who want a traditional steel mounting solution with the flexibility to remove and reinstall an optic while maintaining practical repeatability. That makes the system especially relevant for classic hunting rifles, combination guns and other long guns where one firearm may be used with more than one sighting setup.

A defining trait of the series is its focus on repeatable removal and reattachment. EAW describes the pivot mount as suitable for use with a second scope or aiming device, and the design supports that role by combining a secure lock-up with a layout intended for rifle-specific fit. The front and rear mount-foot fits are adjustable, which is an important part of how the system is set up correctly on the firearm. EAW also offers a lever-operated pivot-mount variant for break-action firearms, showing how the series has been adapted for different rifle types while keeping the same basic idea: a robust detachable mount for common sporting firearms.

About the EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Mauser 2000, 3000

This EAW pivot mount is a rifle-specific mounting solution for the Mauser 2000 and Mauser 3000, built to accept optics with the Swarovski SR rail interface. In practical terms, that combination suits shooters who want the clean profile of a rail-mounted scope together with the flexibility of a detachable hunting mount. Because the top is made specifically for the SR rail standard, the optic sits in a purpose-built interface rather than in conventional rings, which helps keep installation straightforward and mechanically consistent.

The main advantage of this model is the way it combines detachable use with a platform-specific fit. On a hunting rifle, that matters when the optic needs to come off for transport, for access to the rifle’s original sight line, or when changing to another sighting setup for a different style of use. The pivot system is designed around repeatable positioning, so the mount is not only about convenience but about returning the optic to the rifle in a controlled way.

Steel construction is another important part of the design. For a mount, material choice affects long-term stability, resistance to wear at the contact points and confidence under recoil. Steel also suits the traditional character of Mauser-pattern sporting rifles, where durability and secure lock-up are often valued more than minimum weight. As a result, this mount fits well into a classic hunting optics setup: a dedicated SR-rail interface, a detachable pivot mechanism and a rifle-specific base arrangement intended for dependable field use.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later developed into Ernst Apel Würzburg, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been its primary focus. EAW produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and mounting systems remain the core of the brand’s identity.

Today, EAW is known for German-made mounting solutions for sporting and tactical firearms, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts. The company also offers thermal imaging cameras, but its strongest reputation in this category comes from long experience in precision optic mounting. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. That background helps explain why EAW products are closely associated with traditional European hunting rifles and mechanically precise detachable mount systems.
