EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Tikka M 695

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is useful when switching between optics or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• Magnum steel construction: The steel build gives this mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for hard-recoiling rifles and long-term use, helping the optic stay secure under repeated firing.
• 36 mm ring interface: Built for 36 mm scope bodies, this version provides a dedicated fit for larger optics instead of relying on adapters, which supports a cleaner and more stable installation.
• Rifle-specific lower fit: The mount is configured for the Tikka M 695 pattern, giving a model-matched connection that simplifies correct alignment and supports dependable function in the field.
• Adjustable mount-foot fit: The EAW Pivot Mount system uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing precise setup so the mount closes consistently and maintains repeatability over time.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detachable mounting system, a design EAW states it brought to market more than 50 years ago. Within the brand’s lineup, this series sits as a traditional steel mounting solution for hunters and shooters who want a scope that can be removed and reinstalled while preserving repeatable zero. That makes the system especially practical for rifles that may alternate between a daytime riflescope and a second aiming device.

A defining feature of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be set up with the correct closing tension and alignment. EAW offers the pivot concept for common rifles and long guns, and also developed a lever-operated variant for break-action firearms. Across the series, the design philosophy is straightforward: a secure mechanical lockup, precise fit to the firearm, and the ability to detach the optic without turning the rifle into a permanent one-scope setup. For users who value traditional mounting geometry, steel durability, and repeatable reattachment, the Pivot Mount range remains one of EAW’s core mount families.

About the EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Tikka M 695

The EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Tikka M 695 is a rifle-specific pivot mount built for shooters who need a strong detachable interface between a 36 mm scope and a Tikka M 695-pattern rifle. Its Magnum configuration and steel construction make it particularly well suited to setups where recoil resistance, long-term stability, and mechanical durability matter more than saving a small amount of weight.

In practical use, the main advantage of this mount is not just that it holds an optic, but that it allows the scope to be taken off and put back on with the repeatability expected from the EAW pivot system. That is valuable for hunters who travel with the rifle broken down more compactly, for owners who prefer to protect the optic during transport, or for rifles that may alternate between different sighting systems. Because this version is built around a 36 mm ring size, it suits larger scope tubes directly and avoids the compromises that can come with improvised fitting solutions.

The model-specific lower fit for the Tikka M 695 also matters in everyday handling. A mount designed around the rifle’s interface supports proper positioning and secure engagement, which helps the optic return to the same relationship with the bore after removal. Combined with the adjustable fit characteristic of the EAW pivot system, this gives the mount the kind of precise mechanical behavior that serious hunting and sporting rifles demand.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later adopted the EAW name after Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt in 1923. EAW developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been the company’s primary focus.

Today, EAW is known for manufacturing pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts for sporting and specialist rifle applications. The company has also expanded into thermal imaging cameras and introduced a tactical mount series in 2023. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In the optics and hunting-mount sector, EAW has a long-standing reputation for precise steel mounting systems built around repeatability and firearm-specific fit.
