Recknagel Aluminum Front Pivot Ring with Windage, 25.4 mm

• Windage-adjustable front ring: Built-in lateral adjustment helps center the scope mechanically in the mount, which can reduce the amount of windage correction needed in the optic itself.
• 25.4 mm ring interface: Designed for 1-inch scope tubes, making it a practical choice for many classic hunting riflescopes and lightweight sporting optics.
• Aluminum construction: The ring keeps weight down without giving up the rigidity needed for a repeatable detachable hunting mount.
• Pivot-mount compatibility: Made for Recknagel Pivot Mounts, it supports the fast removal and reattachment that hunters value when transporting a rifle or changing optics.
• 0 MOA configuration: A neutral inclination keeps the setup straightforward for standard sighting distances and general-purpose hunting use.

About the Recknagel Pivot Mounts Series

Recknagel Pivot Mounts are a modular family of detachable hunting mounts built around the idea of a secure lock-up with convenient optic removal. In Recknagel’s current catalog, the series includes two-piece swing mounts and bridge mounts with interfaces for common riflescope formats, giving gunsmiths and rifle owners flexibility when matching an optic to a particular firearm. The range covers traditional tube diameters such as 1 inch, 26 mm, 30 mm and 34 mm, along with versions for popular rail-type scope bodies.

The series is aimed primarily at hunters using bolt-action and combination firearms, especially those who want to remove and reinstall an optic without giving up a precise, well-fitted mounting solution. Recknagel also catalogs extension options in several lengths, which helps when eye relief or scope positioning needs fine adjustment. In practical use, the Pivot Mounts line stands out for its modular construction, traditional hunting-oriented form factor, and suitability for rifles that may alternate between day optics and other sighting systems. It is a system built for clean rifle handling, repeatable positioning, and a tailored fit rather than a one-size-fits-all mount.

About the Recknagel Aluminum Front Pivot Ring with Windage, 25.4 mm

The Recknagel Aluminum Front Pivot Ring with Windage, 25.4 mm is a specialized front ring for a Recknagel detachable pivot-mount setup, intended for riflescopes with a 25.4 mm (1 inch) tube. Its role is not simply to clamp the scope, but to form part of a hunting mount that can be fitted with the precision expected from a modular swing-mount system. For rifles and optics that need careful alignment, the windage-adjustable design is the key feature: it allows lateral correction at the mount itself, which helps center the scope more naturally and can preserve more of the riflescope’s internal adjustment range for zeroing.

The use of aluminum construction keeps the assembly lighter than a comparable steel ring, which suits classic hunting rifles where balance and carry weight matter. At the same time, the ring remains purpose-built for a detachable mount system, so it supports the practical advantages of removing the optic for transport, storage, or a change in sighting setup. The 0 MOA inclination makes it appropriate for standard hunting applications where a neutral mounting geometry is preferred, while the black finish gives it a subdued appearance that matches most riflescope bodies and hunting rifles. As a front ring within the Recknagel system, it is best suited to users who want a lighter 1-inch pivot-mount component with the added fitting flexibility of windage adjustment.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German maker of firearm sights, riflescope mounting systems, and hunting accessories with roots going back to 1867, when Adolf Recknagel began manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia. The company is closely associated with the mechanical side of sporting and hunting firearms, with a product range that includes scope mounts, Picatinny rails, sights, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers. That background is especially relevant in the mounting category, where precise machining and dependable fit are central to performance.

Over time, Recknagel expanded from traditional hunting hardware into modern mounting solutions, including the launch of the ERATAC line in 2010 for tactical mounts and accessories. Its long-standing reputation rests on practical engineering for rifle setup and sight attachment, particularly for hunters and shooters who need robust, repeatable mounting components rather than generic hardware. This heritage makes Recknagel a natural reference point for detachable and pivot-style scope mounts.
