Rusan Pivot mount for Merkel SR 1, Yukon Photon, 30mm, extra high

• Extra-high 30 mm interface: Built for the Yukon Photon format, the extra-high ring position gives the digital night-vision sight the clearance it needs, helping the optic sit correctly without forcing an awkward installation.
• Pivot quick-detach design: The Rusan Pivot Mount lets the sight be attached and removed in a repeatable way, which is useful for hunters who switch between daytime optics and a dedicated night-vision setup.
• Steel construction: A steel body gives the mount the rigidity needed to keep alignment stable under field use, while also standing up well to repeated mounting cycles on a hunting rifle.
• Windage-adjustable system: Built-in lateral adjustment helps center the optic more precisely during setup, reducing the need to force correction through the sight alone and making zeroing more straightforward.
• Merkel SR 1-specific fit: This version is made for the Merkel SR 1 Standard, so the geometry matches the rifle platform instead of relying on a generic adapter solution.

About the Rusan Pivot Mounts for NV and Thermal Series

Rusan Pivot Mounts for NV and Thermal are purpose-built for hunters who want to fit digital night-vision and thermal devices to specific rifle platforms without resorting to improvised mounting combinations. In Rusan’s catalog, this series covers dedicated variants for particular rifles and for compatible devices from brands such as Yukon, Pulsar, and HIKMICRO. That model-specific approach matters in practice because night-vision and thermal sights often need different height, clearance, and interface geometry than a conventional daytime riflescope.

The series is defined by a pivot-style detachable mounting concept, with versions offered either as complete mounts with bases or as upper assemblies for rifles that already use the relevant base arrangement. Within the range, users will also find options for different rifle mounting interfaces, including prism-type receivers and other rifle-specific attachment patterns. For field use, the main advantage is a mount that is tailored both to the firearm and to the sight type, which helps maintain a practical sight line, secure fit, and repeatable handling when the optic is removed and reinstalled.

About the Rusan Pivot mount for Merkel SR 1, Yukon Photon, 30mm, extra high

The Rusan Pivot mount for Merkel SR 1, Yukon Photon, 30mm, extra high is a dedicated hunting mount designed around a very specific pairing: the Merkel SR 1 Standard rifle and a 30 mm Yukon Photon night-vision sight. That dedicated fit is the main strength of the design. Instead of adapting a general-purpose ring set to a digital optic with unusual proportions, this mount is configured for the height and handling needs of the Photon platform, which helps create a cleaner and more dependable installation.

The extra-high configuration, with a BH height of 28.00 mm and an H height of 43.00 mm, is especially relevant for digital night-vision use because these sights often require more clearance than a conventional riflescope. The result is a mounting position that better accommodates the sight body while preserving practical access and a natural line of sight on the rifle. Because the mount uses a pivot detachable system, it also suits shooters who want to remove the sight after use or alternate between different optics on the same rifle.

Rusan builds this mount from steel, which is a sensible choice for a component that must hold alignment securely and resist wear over repeated attachment cycles. The inclusion of windage adjustment adds another practical advantage during setup, allowing finer lateral alignment at the mount level. With 0 MOA inclination, the mount stays neutral and straightforward for the intended short- to medium-range night-hunting role of the Yukon Photon platform.

About Rusan

Rusan-Mikron is a Croatian manufacturer based in Marija Bistrica, and the company’s roots go back to the Rusan family metalworking business established in 1983. Željko Rusan opened a gunsmith shop in 1986, and the company moved into scope-mount production in 1993. That background is important because Rusan’s reputation is closely tied to practical mounting solutions rather than to general outdoor equipment.

Today, the company focuses on scope mounts, scope rings, Picatinny rails, and related firearm accessories, with a strong presence in adapters for night-vision and thermal-imaging devices. Rusan also introduced its clip-on sight adapter clamp in 2009, reflecting the brand’s long involvement in mounting systems for modern electro-optics. For products such as pivot mounts, that specialization shows in the broad range of rifle-specific interfaces and sight-specific configurations.
