EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Browning A-bolt (WSSM)

• Pivot design: The mount lets the optic be removed and reattached in a repeatable way, which is useful when switching between setups without disturbing the rifle’s established zero.
• Swarovski SR rail interface: The dedicated SR rail top fits compatible Swarovski rail-mounted scopes directly, giving a secure, aligned connection without separate rings.
• Steel construction: A steel build gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated use on a hunting rifle, especially where dependable lock-up matters over time.
• Rifle-specific fit: This version is made for the FN Browning A-Bolt SSA / Browning A-bolt (WSSM) platform, helping ensure correct fit and consistent positioning on the action.
• German-made mount system: Built in Germany, this mount follows EAW’s long-established approach to precise, serviceable riflescope mounting for sporting rifles.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for sporting rifles and other common long guns. EAW states that it developed and launched this pivot-mount concept more than 50 years ago, and the design remains one of the brand’s defining products. The system is built around the practical idea that a riflescope or other aiming device can be removed and later reattached without changing the point of impact, which is especially valuable for hunters who use one rifle with different optics or who need to transport the firearm with the scope removed.

A key characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, allowing the mount to be set up with the precise engagement needed for secure lock-up. Within the wider family, EAW also offers variants for different firearm types, including a lever-operated version for break-action guns. Across the range, the emphasis is on repeatability, mechanical precision and rifle-specific fit rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. That makes the series particularly relevant to traditional hunting optics, where a low, stable and repeatable mount is often just as important as the scope itself.

About the EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Browning A-bolt (WSSM)

This EAW pivot mount is configured specifically for the Browning A-bolt (WSSM) platform and uses a Swarovski SR rail top interface. In practice, that makes it a strong match for hunters who want the clean profile and secure alignment of a rail-mounted Swarovski riflescope rather than a separate ring setup. Because the mount is built around a dedicated rail standard, scope installation stays straightforward and the optic sits in a controlled, repeatable position.

The main advantage of this model is the combination of quick-detachable pivot functionality with a rifle-specific lower fit. A mount of this type is useful when the rifle must be stored or transported with the scope removed, or when the shooter alternates between optics while expecting the setup to return to the same zero relationship after reinstallation. That repeatability is central to the EAW pivot concept and is particularly relevant on a hunting rifle where reliability matters more than frequent adjustment.

Its steel construction supports long-term durability at the locking and bearing surfaces, where repeated attachment and removal place the most demand on the mount. The result is a mounting solution aimed at shooters who value a traditional, mechanically robust interface for hunting optics: secure on the rifle, matched to the action, and designed around the practical benefit of removing and refitting the scope without turning the mounting system into a variable of its own.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later became associated with the name EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg, and it developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, the development and production of riflescope mounts have been the company’s primary focus, which explains EAW’s strong reputation in the field of hunting and sporting rifle mounting systems.

Over time, the company expanded its range to include pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts, covering several traditional European mounting styles. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Alongside its established mount systems, EAW also offers thermal imaging devices and introduced a dedicated series of mounts for tactical applications in 2023. Even so, the brand remains best known for precise, rifle-specific scope mounts made in Germany.
