Recknagel Pivot upper parts, Sauer 200, 34 mm

• Pivot quick-detach design: The pivot system lets the scope be removed and reattached in a repeatable way, which is useful for rifles that alternate between optical sighting setups or need easier transport and access to the action.
• 34 mm ring interface: Built for 34 mm scope tubes, these upper parts support larger modern riflescopes that often offer broader adjustment range and stronger low-light performance than smaller-tube alternatives.
• Steel construction: The steel body gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated attachment cycles, helping the optic stay aligned under regular field use.
• Windage-adjustable design: Built-in lateral adjustment helps center the scope more precisely over the rifle, reducing the need to use excessive internal windage correction in the optic.
• 18.50 mm build height: The moderate height helps create a practical balance between objective clearance and a stable cheek weld, supporting a more natural shooting position.

About the Recknagel Series

Recknagel pivot mounts are designed for hunters and rifle owners who want a detachable scope mounting system without giving up mechanical stability. In Recknagel’s hunting-mount lineup, the pivot concept sits among the company’s traditional European mounting solutions, where repeatable removal and refitting are as important as secure lock-up on the rifle. The system is built around matched upper parts and rifle-specific bases, allowing the optic to be fitted to the firearm with a layout tailored to the receiver.

A defining characteristic of the series is its focus on precise steel construction and model-specific fit. Rather than treating the mount as a generic accessory, Recknagel’s pivot system is intended as a durable interface between rifle and scope, especially for classic hunting rifles and repeaters that benefit from a low, clean installation. Versions are offered for different ring diameters and rifle platforms, so the same mounting principle can be adapted to a wide range of optics. For shooters who value a removable scope, straightforward handling and a traditional mounting style, Recknagel pivot mounts remain a practical choice in the hunting optics category.

About the Recknagel Pivot upper parts, Sauer 200, 34 mm

The Recknagel Pivot upper parts, Sauer 200, 34 mm are the upper section of a two-part pivot mounting system made for use with compatible Recknagel Pivot Mount Bases on the Sauer 200. Their role is to hold a 34 mm riflescope securely while preserving the main advantage of the pivot format: the ability to remove the optic when needed and reinstall it with a consistent mechanical fit. This makes the setup especially useful on hunting rifles that may be carried with the scope removed, transported in tighter cases, or used with more than one sighting arrangement.

The 34 mm ring size suits modern riflescopes with larger main tubes, which are commonly chosen for long-range or low-light hunting optics because they often provide more internal adjustment travel and robust overall construction. The steel housing supports that role well, offering the stiffness and long-term wear resistance expected from a mount that may be detached and reattached repeatedly. A further practical advantage is the windage-adjustable design, which helps align the optic more precisely with the rifle and can preserve more of the scope’s internal adjustment range for actual zeroing and trajectory correction.

With a height of 18.50 mm and 0 MOA inclination, this version is configured for a straightforward optical setup rather than built-in cant. That makes it well suited to shooters who want a clean, centered mounting solution for a Sauer 200 rifle and a 34 mm scope, with the handling benefits of a traditional pivot mount and the durability of an all-steel construction.

About Recknagel

Recknagel is a German manufacturer focused on firearm and riflescope mounting systems, sights and hunting accessories. The company’s history began in 1867, when Adolf Recknagel started manufacturing firearm sights in Albrechts near Suhl, Thuringia. That long background in gunmaking-related components still shapes the brand’s emphasis on precise fit, durable materials and mechanically sound designs for sporting and hunting rifles.

Today, Recknagel’s range includes scope mounts, Picatinny rails, firearm sights, triggers, safeties and hunting silencers, showing a broad specialization in rifle hardware rather than optics alone. The company relocated from Schweinfurt to Bergrheinfeld in 2006, and Dr. Moritz Fehrer acquired Recknagel in 2022. In the tactical segment, Recknagel expanded its profile with the ERATAC line introduced in 2010, while its hunting-oriented products continue to reflect the firm’s established expertise in mounting solutions.
