EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Weatherby Junior

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot mount is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable for transport, cleaning, or switching between optics on the same rifle.
• LM rail interface: The rail-based upper section gives a secure, precisely aligned connection for compatible scope bodies, helping maintain consistent positioning and reducing the chance of ring marks on the optic.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body provides the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use on hunting rifles, especially where repeated mounting and dismounting are part of normal use.
• Rifle-specific fit for Weatherby Junior: This version is made for the Weatherby Junior action, which simplifies correct installation geometry and supports dependable function without improvised adapters.
• Made in Germany: German production reflects EAW’s long-standing focus on precision mount manufacturing, with close tolerances that matter for alignment, repeatability, and long service life.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detachable mounting system, a design EAW says it introduced more than 50 years ago. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns and remains a core choice for shooters who want a scope mount that can be removed and reinstalled while keeping the rifle’s zero unchanged. That repeatability is the defining strength of the system and one of the reasons pivot mounts remain popular for hunting rifles used in changing conditions.

The series is also designed with flexibility in mind. Adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits help the mount sit correctly on the firearm, while the pivoting layout makes it practical to use a second scope or aiming device on the same rifle. Within the broader family, EAW also offers a lever-operated variant for break-action firearms, showing the same design philosophy: secure lock-up, low mounting height, and reliable reattachment. Across the range, the emphasis is on mechanical precision, repeatable positioning, and a rifle-specific fit rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

About the EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Weatherby Junior

The EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Weatherby Junior is a rifle-specific pivot mount made for shooters who want the proven handling of the EAW system on a Weatherby Junior rifle while using an optic with an LM rail interface. Its main advantage is not simply that it holds a scope, but that it allows the optic to be detached and reattached in a controlled, repeatable way. For a hunting rifle, that is especially useful when the scope must be removed for compact transport, access to the action, or replacement with another sighting setup.

The LM rail upper section provides a stable, aligned attachment surface for compatible rail-mounted scopes. Compared with separate rings, a rail interface can simplify positioning and helps distribute clamping force along the rail, which is beneficial for maintaining secure contact without unnecessary stress on the optic body. The use of steel is equally important in practice: it gives the mount the stiffness needed to preserve alignment under recoil and the durability to withstand repeated opening and closing over many seasons.

Because this mount is configured specifically for the Weatherby Junior, it is intended to match the rifle’s receiver geometry rather than relying on a generic base arrangement. That rifle-specific approach is central to the EAW concept. The result is a pivot mount suited to traditional hunting use where dependable zero retention, solid lock-up, and the ability to remove the scope when needed matter more than unnecessary complexity.

About EAW

EAW was founded by Ernst Apel in Würzburg, Germany, in 1919. The company produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been its primary focus. That long specialization is important in this category, because scope mounts depend on precise machining, repeatable tolerances, and a deep understanding of rifle-specific fit.

Today, Ernst Apel GmbH is headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany, following the company’s move from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970. EAW is known for making pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, and it has expanded its range in recent years with tactical mount solutions and thermal imaging products. For traditional hunting optics and rifle mounting systems, however, the company’s reputation rests above all on its long experience with detachable mounts designed for repeat precision.
