Recknagel Rear Pivot Base For Sauer 80/90/92

• Steel rear base: The steel construction gives the rear pivot base the rigidity needed for a repeatable mount interface, helping the optic return to the same position after removal and reinstallation.
• 15 mm dovetail fit: Built for a 15 mm dovetail interface, this base provides the correct foundation for compatible pivot-mount components without improvised fitting or adapter work.
• Low 3.50 mm height: The low base height keeps the mounting system close to the receiver, which supports a compact setup and helps preserve a natural cheek weld with hunting optics.
• 0 MOA inclination: With 0 MOA built in, the base maintains a neutral alignment that suits general-purpose hunting rifles and standard sight-in distances.
• Model-specific compatibility: This rear base is made for the Sauer 80/90/92 platform, which matters for secure fit, correct geometry, and dependable function in a pivot-mount system.

About the Recknagel Tip-off Mount Series

The Recknagel Tip-off Mount series is part of the company’s scope-mount range for hunting and sporting firearms. Within the broader Recknagel lineup, these mounts serve shooters who want a detachable optic setup that can be matched closely to both the rifle and the sight interface. The series includes versions for scope tubes as well as models with integrated optic-rail interfaces, giving it flexibility across traditional and modern riflescope designs.

Recknagel offers the series in several interface patterns, including Weaver/Picatinny, Swarovski SR, Zeiss internal rail, S&B Convex, and other rail formats. Scope-tube variants are listed for 26, 30, 34, 36 and 40 mm diameters, which shows the series’ role as a modular mounting family rather than a one-format solution. In practical use, that means the Tip-off Mount line is aimed at shooters who value a tailored fit between rifle, optic, and mount geometry, whether the priority is a classic hunting rifle profile or a more specialized sporting setup.

About the Recknagel Rear Pivot Base For Sauer 80/90/92

The Recknagel Rear Pivot Base For Sauer 80/90/92 is a model-specific rear base designed for rifles that use the classic Sauer 80, Sauer 90 and Sauer 92 action pattern. As the rear element of a pivot-mount arrangement, it provides the foundation that allows the optic assembly to seat consistently and lock into the same geometry each time it is mounted. That repeatability is the main reason shooters choose this type of system for hunting rifles that may alternate between scoped and open-sight use.

The base is built from steel, which suits a component that must resist wear at the contact surfaces and maintain alignment over repeated mounting cycles. Its 3.50 mm height helps keep the mounting line low over the receiver, an advantage when the goal is a balanced rifle and a comfortable head position behind the scope. The 15 mm dovetail specification defines the interface for the matching mount parts, ensuring the rear base works as part of a properly fitted system rather than as a generic rail substitute.

With 0 MOA inclination, this rear base is intended for straightforward optical alignment on a hunting rifle, without adding cant for extended-range dialing. In practice, that makes it a sensible choice for traditional sporting use where a clean, low-profile installation and dependable return to position matter more than extra elevation bias.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer of firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories. The company began when Adolf Recknagel started manufacturing firearm sights in 1867 in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia, giving the brand a long connection to German gunmaking. Over time, its range expanded to include scope mounts, Picatinny rails, firearm sights, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers, with a strong focus on precision-fit components for sporting and hunting firearms.

In more recent years, Recknagel broadened its portfolio with the ERATAC line of tactical mounts and accessories in 2010, and added lightweight hunting silencers in 2016. The company relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and Dr. Moritz Fehrer acquired Recknagel in 2022. For products such as rifle bases and pivot-mount parts, Recknagel is known for model-specific engineering, durable materials, and the kind of machining accuracy required for repeatable optic mounting.
