Recknagel Pivot upper parts, Benelli ARGO, Swarovski SR Rail

• Steel upper assembly: The steel construction gives this pivot mount upper high rigidity and wear resistance, which helps the optic stay securely aligned through repeated mounting cycles and regular field use.
• Swarovski SR rail interface: Built specifically for Swarovski SR rail optics, it provides a precise, non-ring mounting solution that supports secure positioning without placing clamping pressure around the scope tube.
• Adjustable windage: The windage-adjustable design helps fine-tune alignment at the mount level, which can simplify setup and is especially useful when pairing the upper with different compatible pivot bases.
• 19.00 mm build height: This moderate mounting height helps achieve practical scope clearance while keeping the optic low enough for a stable cheek weld and natural sight picture on suitable rifle setups.
• Pivot-mount compatibility: Designed as the upper part of a pivot system, it allows a compatible riflescope to be attached to the correct lower bases for rifles such as the Benelli ARGO, combining secure lock-up with the convenience of a detachable hunting optic setup.

About the Recknagel Pivot Series

Recknagel pivot mounts are built for hunters who want a detachable riflescope mounting system without giving up mechanical stability. In this product family, the optic is carried on a dedicated upper assembly and paired with model-specific lower bases, creating a modular solution that can be matched to different rifles and different optic interfaces. A key characteristic of the series is its support for both conventional ring-mounted scopes and optics with proprietary rails such as the Swarovski SR rail.

The design philosophy behind the series is practical and field-oriented: a secure lock-up, repeatable positioning, and a mounting format that lets the scope be removed when needed for transport, storage, or switching optics. Within the range, users can choose the upper part that matches the optic and the lower base that matches the rifle. This makes the series especially relevant for traditional hunting rifles and semi-automatic hunting platforms where a clean, robust, detachable installation is preferred over a permanent fixed mount.

About the Recknagel Pivot upper parts, Benelli ARGO, Swarovski SR Rail

The Recknagel Pivot upper parts for Benelli ARGO and Swarovski SR Rail are made for shooters who need a dedicated upper assembly for a pivot-mount rifle and a rail-equipped Swarovski scope. Instead of using conventional rings, this version accepts the Swarovski SR rail directly, which is a practical choice for optics built around that interface and for users who want a neat, purpose-built connection between scope and mount.

Its 19.00 mm build height helps keep the optic at a sensible level above the rifle, balancing objective clearance with a comfortable head position behind the scope. The 0 MOA inclination suits general hunting use where a neutral mounting angle is preferred. Because the mount includes adjustable windage, alignment can be refined at the mounting system itself, which can help center the optic more effectively during installation.

The steel construction is important in this category because the upper part carries the optic and works as a critical structural element in the pivot system. Steel gives the assembly the stiffness and durability expected from a detachable hunting mount that may be removed and reattached over time. Finished in black, it matches modern hunting optics and rifles while maintaining a restrained, functional appearance.

This upper assembly is intended for use with compatible pivot bases for the Benelli ARGO platform and other listed rifles in the same mounting family, making it a focused solution for shooters who want a rail-specific upper rather than a generic ring setup.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer focused on firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights, and hunting accessories. The company’s history began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl in Thuringia. Over time, the brand expanded its range to include scope mounts, Picatinny rails, sights, triggers, safeties, and related hunting equipment.

A notable step in its modern development came in 2010 with the launch of the ERATAC line of tactical mounts and accessories, showing the company’s reach across both hunting and tactical optics applications. Recknagel relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and in 2022 the company was acquired by Dr. Moritz Fehrer. Across its product range, Recknagel is known for mechanically focused solutions built around precise fit, robust materials, and application-specific mounting design.
