EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Sauer STR 200

• Repeatable return to zero: The pivot design lets the optic be removed and reattached while maintaining the rifle's established point of impact, which is valuable when switching between sighting systems or transporting the rifle.
• LM rail interface: Built for scopes with an LM rail, this version provides a secure, precisely aligned connection without separate rings, helping preserve consistent positioning on the rifle.
• Steel construction: The steel body gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use on a precision rifle, especially where stable alignment matters as much as strength.
• Rifle-specific fit: Made for the SIG Sauer 200 STR, this pivot mount is tailored to the rifle platform, which supports dependable installation and proper geometry between rifle and optic.
• Low-profile pivot concept: EAW pivot mounts are designed to keep the optic close to the rifle while still allowing quick handling, giving the shooter a practical balance of access, repeatability and sighting comfort.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are one of the defining products in the company's lineup and remain a core choice for shooters who want a removable riflescope mount without giving up repeatability. EAW states that it developed and launched this system more than 50 years ago, and the design is still centered on a practical idea: the optic can be taken off and put back on while keeping the rifle's established zero. That makes the series especially relevant for hunters and precision shooters who alternate between optics, transport rifles with the scope removed, or need access to a second aiming device.

The series is built for common rifles and long guns and is known for its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which helps the mount be set up correctly for the host firearm. Within the wider EAW range, pivot mounts sit as a traditional mechanical solution with a strong emphasis on secure lock-up, repeatable positioning and long service life. The family also includes variants for specific applications, including a lever-operated version for break-action firearms. Across the series, the main appeal is not complexity but precise mechanical repeatability, a low, practical mounting concept and compatibility with many rifle platforms and optic interfaces.

About the EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Sauer STR 200

The EAW pivot mount, LM rail, Sauer STR 200 is a rifle-specific mounting solution for pairing an LM rail scope with the SIG Sauer 200 STR. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides a stable mechanical link between rifle and optic while preserving the main advantage of the pivot system, namely the ability to remove and reinstall the scope without changing the established point of impact. On a precision-oriented rifle such as the 200 STR, that repeatability matters for shooters who want to move between optics, store the rifle more compactly, or service the setup without starting the zeroing process again.

The use of steel construction suits this purpose well. Steel adds rigidity and long-term resistance to wear at the locking and bearing surfaces, which is exactly where a detachable mount must remain consistent over years of use. Because this version is configured for an LM rail rather than separate scope rings, it also supports clean alignment and a tidy overall setup for compatible rail-equipped optics. In practice, that can simplify scope selection within the LM rail format while maintaining a secure interface.

As part of the EAW pivot concept, this mount is intended for shooters who value a traditional mechanical system with dependable handling rather than a universal one-size-fits-all mount. Rifle-specific geometry, repeatable reattachment and a robust all-steel build make it particularly well suited to a disciplined target or hunting optics setup on the Sauer STR 200 platform.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later expanded through the acquisition of Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt in 1923, after which the EAW name came to mean 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, Ernst Apel GmbH is headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany, following a production move from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970. EAW is particularly known for its mechanical mounting systems, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts for riflescopes. In recent years the range has also expanded to include tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging cameras. For products such as this one, EAW's reputation rests on long experience in building precise, durable mounting systems for sporting and professional rifle use.
