Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Howa 1500, LM Rail

• Pivot quick-release design: the mount detaches and returns with a repeatable pivot interface, making it practical for rifles that alternate between scoped use and open access to the action or transport in a compact case.
• Without-bases configuration: this version is made for rifles already fitted with compatible pivot bases, so it is a direct way to add the upper mount section without replacing the existing base setup.
• LM rail interface: the mount is built for scopes with an LM rail, giving a clean, secure connection without separate rings and helping maintain precise alignment on the optic body.
• Steel construction: a steel mount resists wear at the locking and bearing surfaces, which matters on a hunting rifle that is mounted and removed repeatedly over many seasons.
• Howa 1500 compatibility: this model is configured for the Howa 1500 platform, providing a rifle-specific fit that supports stable positioning and dependable function in the field.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts are a dedicated family of firearm optics mounts built around a quick-release pivot system for hunters and shooters who want a secure attachment with the convenience of fast removal. Within the Rusan lineup, the series covers both complete mounts with bases and pivot mounts sold without bases, which makes it suitable for new rifle setups as well as for rifles that already carry compatible lower bases.

The series spans a wide range of optic interfaces, including traditional scope tube sizes such as 26 (25.4), 30, 34, 36, and 40 mm, along with rail-based variants for different mounting standards. Rusan also offers model-specific versions for numerous rifle makes, reflecting a design approach focused on matching the mount to the firearm rather than forcing a universal compromise. A consistent characteristic across the series is steel construction, chosen for durability at the locking points and pivot surfaces, especially where repeat mounting and removal are part of normal use. For hunting rifles and other field guns, that combination of rifle-specific fit, quick handling and robust materials is what defines the series.

About the Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Howa 1500, LM Rail

The Rusan Pivot Mount without Bases for Howa 1500, LM Rail is intended for shooters who already have compatible pivot bases on their rifle and need the upper mount section for an optic with an LM rail. That makes it a practical choice for a Howa 1500 setup where the lower interface is already in place and the goal is to add or change the optic without rebuilding the entire mounting system.

Its main advantage is the combination of a pivot-style quick-release mechanism with a rail-based optic interface. On a hunting rifle, this allows the scope to be removed for transport, maintenance or access to the rifle while keeping the handling characteristics of a classic pivot mount. The LM rail format also avoids separate scope rings, which helps keep the optic body evenly supported and simplifies alignment on premium rail-equipped scopes.

Steel construction is especially important on this type of mount because the pivot points and locking surfaces are the areas that see repeated mechanical contact. A steel body helps the mount stay dependable over long-term use, particularly on rifles that are carried often and mounted and removed regularly. Finished in black, the mount keeps a discreet appearance that suits both traditional and modern rifle builds. For a Howa 1500 owner using an LM-rail scope and existing pivot bases, this model provides a clean, rifle-specific solution.

About Rusan

Rusan is a Croatian manufacturer whose roots in metalworking go back to 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the company moved into the production of scope mounts in 1993. Based in Marija Bistrica, Croatia, Rusan-Mikron has built its reputation around precision-made mounting solutions and related firearm components.

The company’s product range covers scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails and firearm tuning parts, with a strong emphasis on practical fit across many rifle platforms. Rusan is also well known for adapter systems for clip-on devices, including adapters for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. That background is relevant here because it reflects the same core expertise seen in its optic mounts: precise machining, secure attachment and compatibility with specific firearm and optic interfaces.
