Recknagel Aluminum Front Pivot Ring with Windage, 30mm

• Windage-adjustable front ring: Built-in lateral adjustment helps center the riflescope mechanically in the mount, which can preserve more internal scope adjustment for zeroing and simplify alignment on rifles that need fine correction.
• 30 mm ring interface: Designed for 30 mm scope tubes, this front pivot ring suits many hunting optics while keeping the detachable pivot-mount system compact and practical.
• Aluminum construction: The aluminum body reduces weight compared with steel alternatives, helping keep a hunting rifle better balanced without giving up the secure fit expected from a precision mount component.
• Pivot-mount compatibility: Made for Recknagel pivot-mount extensions and dovetail-type pivot bases, it supports a detachable setup that allows the optic to be removed and reattached for transport, storage, or switching optics.
• German-made component: Manufactured in Germany, this spare part follows the precise fit and modular design approach that makes pivot mounts useful when repeatable positioning matters in the field.

About the Recknagel Pivot Mounts Series

Recknagel Pivot Mounts are built as a modular detachable mounting system for hunters who want to remove and reinstall an optic without giving up a consistent, repeatable fit. Within Recknagel’s mount range, the series covers two-piece swing mounts and bridge mounts, giving users options for different rifle actions and optic interfaces. The system is intended primarily for classic hunting rifles and combination firearms, especially where a low, elegant installation and the ability to swap optics are both important.

A defining characteristic of the series is its flexibility. Recknagel catalogs versions for common scope tube diameters as well as variants for rail-equipped optics, and it also offers extensions in 26 mm, 31 mm, 44 mm, and 56 mm to help match ring position to the scope body. That modular approach makes the series useful when fitting day optics, or when changing between different sighting setups. In practical terms, Recknagel Pivot Mounts are designed for shooters who value a traditional swing-mount concept, precise component matching, and a system that can be configured around the rifle and optic rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.

About the Recknagel Aluminum Front Pivot Ring with Windage, 30mm

The Recknagel Aluminum Front Pivot Ring with Windage, 30mm is a specialized front ring for the Recknagel Pivot Mounts system, intended for riflescopes with a 30 mm tube. Its role is not simply to clamp the optic, but to form the front locating point in a detachable swing-mount arrangement. That makes it particularly relevant for hunting rifles where the scope may be removed for transport or replaced with another optic setup built around the same mounting concept.

What sets this version apart is its windage-adjustable design. Lateral correction at the mount can help align the scope more precisely with the rifle, which is useful when fine-tuning installation and can reduce the need to use large amounts of internal windage adjustment in the optic itself. In practice, that can leave more adjustment range available for zeroing and help keep the reticle closer to optical center.

The ring is made from aluminum, which keeps weight down and suits rifles that are carried over long distances. Its 0 MOA inclination keeps the setup neutral, making it appropriate for general hunting applications rather than purpose-built long-range elevation bias. This front ring is configured for use with dovetail-type pivot bases and is compatible with Recknagel pivot extensions, giving the user a modular way to match ring placement to the scope and rifle geometry. As a spare part or build component, it is aimed at shooters who need the correct front ring for a clean, detachable 30 mm pivot-mount installation.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer of firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories. The company’s history began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started producing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl in Thuringia. That long background in gunmaking components still shapes the brand’s focus on precise mechanical parts for sporting and hunting firearms.

Today, Recknagel’s range includes scope mounts, Picatinny rails, sights, triggers, safeties, and hunting silencers. In 2010 the company introduced the ERATAC line for tactical mounts and accessories, expanding its reach beyond traditional hunting applications. Recknagel relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and the company was acquired by Dr. Moritz Fehrer in 2022. For products such as pivot-mount components, Recknagel is known for combining traditional German mount-making with a broad modular catalog for modern riflescope installation.
