EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Fabarm Iris

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot mount is built so the optic can be removed and reattached without changing point of impact, which is useful when switching between different sights or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• Steel construction: A steel mount body gives this setup the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated mounting cycles and long-term use on a hunting rifle.
• S&B Convex rail interface: Designed for scopes with the Schmidt & Bender Convex rail, this version provides a secure rail-based connection without separate rings, helping maintain alignment and a clean overall setup.
• Rifle-specific fit for Fabarm Iris: This mount is made for the Fabarm Iris platform, giving a dedicated fit that simplifies installation geometry and supports dependable positioning on the rifle.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The pivot-mount design uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing precise setup and helping the mount lock up consistently over repeated use.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are a long-established part of the German maker’s hunting and sporting optics lineup. EAW states that it developed and launched the pivot-mount system more than 50 years ago, and the design remains one of the company’s core mount categories. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns, with model-specific versions that let shooters pair a rifle with a suitable optic while keeping the installation low, secure and repeatable.

A defining characteristic of the series is its ability to let a riflescope be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact. In practical use, that matters to hunters who want to swap between optics, remove a scope for transport, or keep a second aiming device ready for a different style of shooting. EAW also describes the pivot mount as suitable for use with a second scope or aiming device. The system uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, which helps achieve a precise lock-up and consistent engagement over time. Within the wider EAW range, the pivot series represents a traditional steel mounting solution focused on repeatability, rifle-specific fit and dependable field use.

About the EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Fabarm Iris

This version of the EAW pivot mount is configured specifically for the Fabarm Iris and for optics that use the S&B Convex rail. That combination makes it a practical choice for shooters who want the clean profile of a rail-mounted riflescope together with the flexibility of a detachable hunting mount. Because the interface is built around the Convex rail standard rather than separate scope rings, the mount supports a tidy installation with secure alignment between rifle and optic.

As part of the pivot-mount family, this model is designed for situations where the optic may need to come off and go back on while maintaining the rifle’s established zero. That is especially useful on a hunting rifle that may alternate between different sighting setups or need a lower-profile transport configuration. The steel construction adds the stiffness and durability expected from a traditional all-metal mount, helping it withstand repeated opening and closing cycles without feeling delicate in use.

The rifle-specific geometry for the Fabarm Iris is equally important in practice. A mount made for the action it fits helps preserve proper positioning and consistent engagement, both of which matter for reliable repeatability. Combined with the adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit used in the EAW system, this mount is aimed at shooters who value a detachable setup that still behaves like a fixed installation once locked in place.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business took on the EAW name after Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt in 1923, with EAW standing for 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, slide-on or roll-off, 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, but its strongest reputation in this category comes from long experience in building precise, repeatable riflescope mounting solutions.
