EAW XS pivot mount, LM rail, A Square bolt action

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW XS pivot mount is built so the optic can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is especially useful when changing between optics or transporting the rifle.
• LM rail interface: The LM rail upper provides a secure, aligned connection for compatible rail-mounted optics, helping maintain consistent positioning and simplifying installation compared with ring-based setups.
• Steel construction: A steel body gives the mount the rigidity needed for dependable alignment under recoil and long-term use, making it well suited to demanding hunting rifles.
• Adjustable windage: Windage adjustment in the mount helps the gunsmith fine-tune alignment mechanically, reducing the need to use excessive scope adjustment and preserving more of the optic’s internal travel.
• Low 18.00 mm build height: The compact BH height keeps the optic close to the bore for a more natural shooting position and a balanced rifle setup.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns. EAW states that it brought this pivot-mount design to market more than 50 years ago, and the concept remains focused on one practical advantage: the optic can be removed and fitted again without changing the point of impact. That makes the series especially relevant for hunters who use more than one sighting setup on the same rifle, such as a daytime riflescope and an alternative aiming device.

The series is defined by its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, which allow careful fitting to the firearm and support the repeatability expected from a premium steel mount. Within the broader family, EAW also offers a lever-operated pivot version for break-action firearms, while the standard pivot line covers many popular rifle actions. Across the range, the design philosophy is mechanical precision, modularity, and long service life rather than unnecessary complexity. For shooters who want a traditional detachable mount with proven return-to-zero characteristics, EAW Pivot Mounts remain one of the classic solutions in hunting optics mounting.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, LM rail, A Square bolt action

The EAW XS pivot mount for A Square bolt action rifles is a dedicated steel mounting solution for shooters who want a detachable setup without giving up stability. Its configuration combines the proven EAW pivot-mount system with an LM rail upper, making it suitable for optics that use this rail standard rather than conventional scope rings. That gives the setup a clean, mechanically direct interface and can simplify optic changes within the same mounting format.

The mount’s 18.00 mm BH height helps keep the optic low over the action, which supports a more natural cheek weld and a more controlled shooting position in the field. The listed KR 23.0 mm extension is important where eye-relief positioning must be matched to the rifle and optic combination, helping achieve a practical sight picture without compromising handling. Because the mount includes adjustable windage, alignment can be corrected at the mount itself, a valuable feature for precise installation and for preserving the riflescope’s internal adjustment range.

In use, this XS mount is aimed at hunters and rifle owners who value repeatable removal and refitting, whether for transport, maintenance, or changing to another sighting system. The steel construction supports long-term durability, while the pivot design keeps the handling familiar and straightforward. For an A Square bolt action fitted with an LM rail optic, this model offers a purpose-built mounting solution centered on repeatability, fit, and mechanical security.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its main focus. Over time, EAW became particularly well known for precision mounting systems for hunting optics, including pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts.

The company later moved production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. While mounts remain central to the brand, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras and, more recently, introduced a tactical mount series in 2023. In this product category, the brand’s reputation rests on long experience with mechanically precise, repeatable scope mounting systems made in Germany.
