EAW Rear Base For Sako L691

• Model-specific fit: Made as a rear base for the Sako L691, this part provides the correct interface for a secure, properly aligned mounting setup on the rifle.
• Part of the EAW Roll-off system: As a component in the EAW Roll-off Mounts family, it supports a mounting concept built around repeatable scope installation and removal.
• Compact 8.80 mm BH height: The low-profile build helps keep the optic close to the bore, which supports a natural shooting position and a tidy overall rifle setup.
• Made in Germany: German production reflects EAW’s long-standing focus on precise mount manufacturing, which matters in a component that must hold alignment under field use.
• Black protective finish: The subdued finish suits hunting and sporting rifles while helping the base blend cleanly with the rifle and the rest of the mount.

About the EAW Roll-off Mounts Series

EAW Roll-off Mounts sit in the manufacturer’s range as a practical alternative to its pivot mounts, aimed at shooters who want sound mechanical precision in a lighter and more economical setup. The series is built around the idea that a riflescope should be mounted securely while still allowing removal and reattachment when the rifle or optic setup calls for it. That makes the family relevant for sporting rifles, lighter hunting combinations and firearms with dovetail-based mounting interfaces.

Within the series, one-piece and two-piece configurations are available, and the design philosophy focuses on straightforward function, compact dimensions and compatibility with a wide variety of rifle types. Depending on the version, the system can be configured for fixed installation or for repeatable attachment with lever-operated solutions. EAW also uses its modular approach across the range, which helps adapt the mount system to different rifles and optic formats. In practice, the series appeals to shooters who value a clean, low-profile mounting solution and the ability to build a rifle-and-scope combination around proven mechanical parts rather than unnecessary bulk.

About the EAW Rear Base For Sako L691

The EAW Rear Base For Sako L691 is a dedicated mounting component made for shooters building or maintaining an EAW Roll-off mount on the Sako L691 platform. As the rear base, it plays an important role in the overall stability and alignment of the mounting system. A rifle mount works only as well as its contact points with the firearm, so a model-specific rear base like this is essential for keeping the optic properly seated and the complete assembly mechanically consistent.

Its 8.80 mm BH height supports a compact installation, helping keep the sight line controlled without adding unnecessary height at the rear of the mount. In practical terms, that contributes to a more natural cheek position and a neater scope-to-rifle relationship, especially on traditional hunting rifles where balance and handling matter as much as raw strength. The black finish gives the part a discreet appearance that matches common riflescope and action finishes, while the steel-focused mount-making background of EAW is reflected in the part’s purpose: dependable support rather than visual excess.

Because this is a spare part for scope mounts, its value lies in correct fit and system compatibility. It is intended for replacing a worn or missing rear base, completing a new mount build, or restoring an existing EAW setup on a Sako L691 rifle. For shooters who want to keep an established rifle-and-optic combination mechanically correct, a dedicated rear base is the right way to preserve the integrity of the mount.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later adopted the name EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg, and it went on to develop its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s main focus, which explains why EAW is so closely associated with riflescope mounting systems rather than general shooting accessories.

Today, the company is headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany, and is known for producing pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for sporting and specialist rifle applications. This long concentration on mounting technology has given EAW a strong reputation among shooters who need precise, model-specific solutions for European hunting rifles and other classic firearm platforms. Alongside mounts, the company also offers thermal imaging products, but its identity remains firmly rooted in German-made scope mounting systems.
