Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser K98/ M48, 25.4 mm

• Pivot design: The pivot system lets the optic swing into the same locked position after removal, giving a practical quick-detach solution for hunters who want to take the scope off for transport, cleaning, or a different sighting setup.
• Without bases configuration: This version is supplied as the upper mount only, making it suitable for rifles that already use compatible pivot bases and avoiding the cost and bulk of replacing parts that are already installed.
• 25.4 mm (1 inch) ring size: Built for classic 1 inch scope tubes, it suits many traditional hunting riflescopes and helps keep proven optics in service on Mauser-pattern rifles.
• Steel construction: Steel gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated attachment and removal, helping the locking surfaces stay consistent over long-term field use.
• Mauser K98 / M48 fit: Designed around the Mauser K98 and M48 platform, this mount matches a well-known action type often chosen for sporting conversions and traditional hunting rifles.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are built as a traditional detachable mounting system for shooters who want a secure scope installation with the option to remove the optic when needed. In the Rusan lineup, this series covers several rifle-specific interfaces and sight standards, including versions for 25.4 mm, 30, 34, 36, and 40 mm scope tubes as well as rail-based variants. That broad format range makes the series relevant both to classic hunting rifles with conventional tube scopes and to more specialized optics setups.

A defining characteristic of the series is its steel construction combined with quick-release fixation. In practice, that gives the mount the mechanical strength expected from a pivot design while keeping removal and refitting straightforward in the field. The range also includes both complete mounts with bases and versions sold without bases, which is useful for rifles that already carry compatible lower parts. Across the series, the design philosophy is practical rather than bulky: rifle-specific fit, repeatable attachment, and compatibility with established European-style pivot mounting systems for hunters who value a removable optic without changing the character of the rifle.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser K98/ M48, 25.4 mm

The Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Mauser K98/ M48, 25.4 mm is aimed at shooters using a 1 inch riflescope on a Mauser-pattern rifle that already has compatible pivot bases installed. Because this is the upper part only, it is a sensible choice when the rifle is already set up for the pivot system and only the ring assembly needs to be added or replaced. That keeps the installation focused and avoids unnecessary changes to the rifle.

The pivot mount layout is especially useful on hunting rifles where the optic may need to be removed for transport, maintenance, or a different sighting arrangement. A pivot system is valued for the way it locks the scope into a defined position, combining the convenience of a detachable mount with the solid feel expected from a fixed installation. On a Mauser K98 or M48 platform, that suits rifles that are often built around durable, traditional hardware rather than lightweight tactical accessories.

Its steel body supports long-term durability at the locking points and ring interfaces, which matters on a mount designed for repeated use. The black finish keeps the appearance understated and visually consistent with blued or matte-finished rifles and scopes. As a rifle-specific detachable mount for the Mauser K98 and M48, it is best suited to users who want a classic mounting solution for a traditional hunting optic while retaining the practical advantages of quick removal.

About Rusan

Rusan-Mikron is a Croatian manufacturer based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, and the company’s roots in metalworking go back to 1983. The business expanded from gunsmithing into dedicated optics-mount production, with Željko Rusan opening a gunsmith shop in 1986 and the company beginning to produce scope mounts in 1993. That background is relevant here because Rusan’s reputation is closely tied to practical firearm interface components rather than general outdoor equipment.

Today, Rusan manufactures scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, along with adapter systems for night-vision and thermal devices. The company is also known for its clip-on sight adapter clamp, introduced in 2009, which reflects its focus on precise mechanical solutions for mounting optics to rifles. In the sporting optics market, Rusan is especially associated with rifle-specific mounting hardware designed to give a secure fit and dependable alignment.
