EAW Slide-on Mount for Sako 75, 26 mm

• Detachable slide-on design: This mount lets the riflescope be removed and reattached, which is useful when switching optics or transporting the rifle while keeping the setup practical for regular field use.
• Built for Sako actions: The mount is made for a wide range of Sako 75, Sako 85 and classic Sako actions, giving a model-specific fit that suits rifles with integrated mounting geometry.
• 26 mm ring format: Designed for scopes with a 26 mm tube, this configuration supports traditional European optics while keeping the installation clean and mechanically straightforward.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight down without giving up the rigidity needed in a riflescope mount, which helps preserve the rifle’s handling balance.
• Made in Germany: German manufacture reflects EAW’s long focus on precision mounting systems, an advantage for shooters who want dependable fit, repeatable attachment and careful machining.

About the EAW Slide-on Mounts Series

EAW Slide-on Mounts are part of the company’s long-established range of detachable riflescope mounting systems. EAW positions this family as a more economical alternative within its mount lineup, especially for lighter firearm setups, while still keeping the precise machining and practical repeatability expected from a German-made hunting optics mount. The series is built around the idea that the scope can be removed and reattached, which is valuable for shooters who alternate between optics, prefer easier transport, or want access to the rifle’s original sight line when the optic is off.

Across the series, EAW offers both one-piece and two-piece designs, with versions for different prism and dovetail interfaces. The concept is used on air rifles, small-calibre shotguns and common rifles with integrated cylindrical or conical mounting prisms, which makes the family broad in application despite its mechanically simple layout. Some configurations are intended for fixed installation, while others use a repeatable lever-lock attachment. In practical terms, the series appeals to hunters and traditional rifle owners who want a neat, low-profile mounting solution that stays easy to handle in the field.

About the EAW Slide-on Mount for Sako 75, 26 mm

The EAW Slide-on Mount for Sako 75, 26 mm is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters using a 26 mm scope tube on compatible Sako actions. Its main advantage is the combination of a model-matched base geometry with the practical handling of a detachable slide-on system. For hunting rifles and traditional sporting setups, that means the optic can be taken off and put back on more conveniently than with a fixed ring arrangement, while the rifle keeps the clean lines expected from a dedicated Sako mount.

This version is particularly relevant for owners of classic European scopes with a 26 mm main tube. Rather than adapting the rifle to a more generic mounting standard, it preserves a direct and tidy interface suited to the rifle family it was designed for. The aluminium construction helps keep overall weight moderate, which matters on stalking rifles and other field guns where balance and carry comfort are important over a long day.

Compatibility across numerous Sako 75, Sako 85 and earlier Sako models also makes this mount useful for shooters who stay within the Sako platform and want a consistent mounting style across rifles. As part of the EAW slide-on family, it suits users who value a removable optic, straightforward handling and a mount that supports the practical use of hunting optics without adding unnecessary bulk.

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 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been its primary focus.

Over time, EAW became closely associated with German-made mounting systems for hunting and sporting rifles. Its range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts and claw mounts, reflecting a strong specialization in detachable optics interfaces. 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 and introduced a tactical mount series in 2023.
