Rusan Pivot Mount Bases for Zastava M85 (Mini Mauser)

• Model-specific fit: Made for the Zastava M85 Mini Mauser, these pivot mount bases provide the correct footprint for a secure installation without improvised fitting work.
• Steel construction: The steel body gives the bases the rigidity needed to keep the mounting interface stable under recoil and repeated scope removal and refitting.
• Pivot mount interface: Designed for the Rusan Pivot Mounts system, the bases form the fixed foundation for a quick-detach swivel setup that supports repeatable optic positioning.
• Low-profile geometry: With a 5.50 mm height and 0 MOA inclination, the bases keep the mounting point close to the receiver for a compact, straightforward setup.
• Four-hole attachment: The 4-hole pattern with 6-48 thread specification supports a solid mechanical connection to the rifle, helping the mount stay aligned in field use.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are part of the company’s dedicated line of firearm optics mounts, built around a traditional swivel-style concept for hunters and shooters who want a removable optic without giving up a rifle-specific fit. The series includes complete mounts with bases as well as pivot mounts sold without bases, which makes it easier to configure the system around a particular rifle and optic combination. Across the range, Rusan offers versions for specific rifle makes and models rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Within the series, the company also lists variants for different mounting interfaces, including 11 mm prisms and Picatinny rails, while complete pivot mounts are offered for scope tubes in 26 (25.4), 30, 34, 36, and 40 mm sizes. Rusan specifies steel construction and quick-release fixation for the pivot-mount family, reflecting a design philosophy focused on mechanical strength, repeatable attachment, and practical field handling. In use, the series is aimed at shooters who want a secure optic mounting solution that can be removed when needed while remaining tailored to the rifle’s receiver geometry.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount Bases for Zastava M85 (Mini Mauser)

Rusan Pivot Mount Bases for Zastava M85 (Mini Mauser) are the rifle-specific lower components of a swivel mounting setup, intended for shooters who want to equip this compact Mauser-pattern action with the Rusan Pivot Mounts system. Because the bases are made specifically for the Zastava M85, they provide the correct receiver interface for building a stable mounting platform before the upper pivot assembly is added. That model-specific fit matters on hunting rifles, where secure alignment and dependable return to position are more important than universal compatibility.

The bases are made from steel, which suits the role of a permanent mounting foundation. A rigid steel base helps the upper mount work consistently, especially when the optic is removed and reattached as part of a quick-detach setup. The black finish keeps the appearance understated and matches common rifle and scope finishes, while the 0 MOA inclination makes this a straightforward neutral base for general-purpose scope installation rather than a canted long-range rail.

With a 5.50 mm base height, the design stays relatively low over the receiver, helping preserve a compact optic setup. The 4-hole layout and 6-48 thread specification define the mechanical attachment pattern, giving gunsmiths and experienced installers the key dimensions needed for correct mounting. In practical terms, these bases are for shooters who want a clean, rifle-specific starting point for a detachable hunting optics setup on the Mini Mauser platform.

About Rusan

Rusan-Mikron is a Croatian manufacturer based in Marija Bistrica, and the Rusan family’s metalworking business dates to 1983. The company expanded from gunsmithing into optics-mount production over time, with Željko Rusan opening a gunsmith shop in 1986 and the business beginning scope-mount production in 1993. That background is relevant to products such as pivot mount bases, because it places the company firmly in the field of precision metal components for sporting and hunting firearms.

Today, Rusan manufactures scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and firearm tuning products, along with adapter systems for clip-on sights and for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. The company introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp in 2009, and its catalogue includes rifle-specific mounting solutions for platforms such as Tikka T3, Sauer 202, and Zastava M70. This focus on model-specific interfaces and machined steel parts is central to Rusan’s reputation in the optics-mount category.
