EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Heym Express bolt action

• Pivot design: The mount lets a riflescope be removed and reattached with repeatable positioning, which is useful when switching between optics or when the rifle must travel in a more compact case.
• 26 mm ring format: Built for scopes with a 26 mm main tube, this version suits classic European optics while keeping the installation matched to the tube diameter for secure support.
• Steel construction: A steel body gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use on a hunting rifle, especially where repeated removal and refitting are part of normal use.
• Rifle-specific fit for Heym Express: The mount is made for the Heym Express bolt action, so the interface is tailored to that action rather than relying on a universal base system.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The front and rear mount-foot fit can be adjusted, helping the mount settle correctly on the rifle and supporting consistent return to zero after reinstallation.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are built around a long-established quick-detachable concept that the company says it introduced more than 50 years ago. Within the EAW lineup, this series sits as a traditional solution for hunters and rifle owners who want a scope mount that can be removed and reattached without changing the rifle’s point of impact. That makes the system especially relevant for rifles used with more than one optic, or for owners who prefer to remove the scope for transport, storage or maintenance.

A defining characteristic of the series is its repeatable return-to-zero design, combined with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits. In practice, that gives the installer a way to fine-tune the fit to the rifle and optic combination. EAW positions the series for common rifles and long guns, and also describes the pivot mount as suitable for use with a second scope or aiming device. The family includes variants for different rifle platforms and scope interfaces, keeping the same basic idea: a durable steel mounting system that prioritizes secure lock-up, repeatable alignment and flexibility for traditional hunting optics.

About the EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Heym Express bolt action

The EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, for the Heym Express bolt action is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters using a 26 mm scope tube on this particular action. Its main advantage is not simply that it holds the scope, but that it does so in a format designed for repeatable removal and reattachment. For a hunting rifle, that matters when the optic needs to come off for transport, when a second sighting setup is used, or when the rifle is maintained more easily with the scope removed.

The use of steel construction gives the mount the stiffness and long-term wear resistance expected from a traditional pivot system. That is especially relevant on a mount intended to be opened and closed repeatedly over years of field use. Because this version is configured specifically for the Heym Express, the fit is tailored to the rifle rather than adapted through a generic interface, which helps preserve stable alignment between rifle and optic.

Its 26 mm ring format makes it a natural match for classic European riflescopes and also supports compatibility with 25.4 mm (1 inch) optics where appropriate. As part of the EAW pivot-mount concept, the adjustable mount-foot fit helps the system lock up correctly and maintain consistent positioning. The result is a mount aimed at hunters who value a traditional detachable setup, dependable mechanical engagement and the ability to return the scope to the rifle without unnecessary re-zeroing work.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business took on the EAW name in 1923, when Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to mean Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company developed and produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its 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 later moved production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Alongside mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, showing that its expertise extends across both optic interfaces and sighting equipment.
