MAKlassic Pivot upper parts, FN Browning X-Bolt, 26 mm

• Pivot upper assembly: This MAKlassic upper part is built for a classic pivot-mount setup, giving the rifle a detachable scope solution that can be removed and reattached while keeping the handling of the rifle clean and practical.
• 26 mm ring size: The mount is made for 25.4 mm (1") scope tubes, making it a suitable choice for traditional hunting optics that use the classic one-inch format.
• Adjustable windage: Built-in windage adjustment helps center the optic in the mount itself, which can preserve more of the riflescope’s internal adjustment range for zeroing.
• Steel construction: A steel body gives the upper parts the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a pivot mount that is repeatedly opened, closed, and carried in the field.
• Low 14.00 mm build: The restrained mounting height helps keep the scope close to the bore, supporting a natural cheek weld and a more consistent shooting position.

About the MAKlassic Series

MAKlassic is MAK’s traditional two-piece pivot-mount series, documented in the company’s catalogues by 2019. The line is built around the needs of hunters and rifle owners who want a detachable optic mount with the familiar handling of a classic swing mount. Within the series, MAK offers versions for both rifles and break-action firearms, with configurations tailored to specific firearm models rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

A defining characteristic of the MAKlassic series is its breadth of configurations. The range includes versions with rotating locks and lever locks, as well as options for conventional scope tubes and optic rails. Different mount heights and front-foot offsets allow the system to be matched to the rifle, the optic, and the shooter’s preferred position behind the scope. In practice, that makes the series especially relevant for hunting rifles where low mounting height, repeatable removal, and model-specific fit matter more than universal rail compatibility.

About the MAKlassic Pivot upper parts, FN Browning X-Bolt, 26 mm

The MAKlassic Pivot upper parts for the FN Browning X-Bolt are the upper mounting components for a classic pivot setup, configured here for 25.4 mm (1") riflescope tubes. This makes them a natural match for traditional hunting scopes, especially on rifles where a compact, low-slung optic installation is preferred. Because they are designed as upper parts for a pivot system, they suit shooters who value the ability to remove the scope when needed while keeping the rifle ready for transport, storage, or use with other sighting arrangements.

The combination of a 14.00 mm BH height and 27.00 mm overall height keeps the optic relatively low over the action, which helps maintain a stable cheek position and a more instinctive sight picture. The 0 MOA inclination is appropriate for general hunting and everyday sporting use, where the priority is a straightforward optical setup rather than built-in elevation bias for specialized long-range dialing. A particularly useful feature is the adjustable windage, which allows the mount to contribute to alignment. In practical terms, that can reduce the need to use excessive internal windage correction in the scope.

Built from steel and finished in black, these upper parts emphasize durability and secure support. They are intended for use with compatible pivot-mount bases on the FN Browning X-Bolt platform, including long-action, magnum, short-action, and SSA variants when paired with the appropriate lower components.
