EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Browning Mauser

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW Magnum pivot mount is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable when a rifle is used with more than one optic or when the sight must be taken off for transport or maintenance.
• 36 mm scope fit: This version is made for 36 mm scope bodies, giving a secure interface for larger hunting optics that need a strong, stable mounting solution on magnum-class actions.
• Steel construction: The steel build adds rigidity and long-term wear resistance, helping the mount hold alignment under recoil and repeated use in the field.
• Rifle-specific compatibility: Designed for the Browning Mauser pattern and related actions, this mount provides a platform matched to the receiver geometry, which supports reliable installation and consistent positioning.
• Modular EAW concept: As part of the EAW pivot-mount system, it supports the practical advantage of using alternate optics on the same rifle while keeping the handling familiar and the mounting process straightforward.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are one of the company’s core mounting systems and remain a well-established choice for hunters and shooters who need a detachable scope mount with dependable repeatability. EAW developed and launched this pivot-mount concept more than 50 years ago, and the series is still positioned as a practical solution for common rifles and long guns. Its main purpose is simple: allow an optic to be removed and reattached without changing the rifle’s zero.

A defining characteristic of the series is its suitability for rifles that may carry a second scope or aiming device. That makes the system useful for shooters who alternate between different sighting setups for changing light, terrain or hunting style. EAW also describes the front and rear mount-foot fits as adjustable, which reflects the series’ focus on precise mechanical engagement rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Within the broader family, EAW also offers a lever-operated pivot-mount variant for break-action firearms, showing that the series is built around firearm-specific solutions while keeping the same emphasis on repeatable positioning, secure lock-up and practical interchangeability.

About the EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Browning Mauser

The EAW Magnum pivot mount, 36 mm, Browning Mauser is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters who need the strength of a steel mount and the convenience of a detachable optic system on a Mauser-pattern action. Its 36 mm upper fit is intended for scopes with a matching tube diameter, making it especially relevant for larger hunting optics where a stable, recoil-resistant connection matters as much as the glass itself.

What sets this model apart is the combination of the Magnum configuration and the EAW pivot principle. In practical use, that means the scope can be taken off the rifle and put back on without turning the mount into a permanent compromise. For a hunter who wants open access to the rifle, easier transport, or the option to switch between optics, that repeatable attachment system is the real benefit. On a Browning Mauser and related compatible actions, the mount is matched to the receiver pattern rather than treated as a generic fit, which helps preserve alignment and handling.

The steel construction is equally important. Steel adds durability at the contact points and supports long service life where repeated locking, unlocking and recoil cycles can wear lighter materials more quickly. This makes the mount well suited to traditional hunting rifles and robust field use, especially where reliability and mechanical consistency matter more than saving a small amount of weight.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. In 1923, he acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its primary focus.

That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation in the shooting world. The company is known for pivot mounts, as well as slide-on or roll-off and claw mounts, with a product range aimed at hunters, traditional sporting rifles and more recent tactical applications. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Alongside mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, but precision mounting systems remain the company’s defining area of expertise.
