EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Heym Express

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design lets the scope be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is especially useful when one rifle is used with different optics or transported in a more compact case.
• Built for the Heym Express: This version is made for the Heym Express platform, giving a rifle-specific mounting solution that supports correct fit and dependable alignment instead of relying on a generic base.
• 25.4 mm ring format: The mount accepts 1 inch scopes, making it a practical choice for classic hunting optics and many established riflescope models in this tube size.
• Steel construction: A steel body adds rigidity and long-term wear resistance at the contact points, helping the mount stay consistent under recoil and repeated removal cycles.
• Adjustable windage: Built-in windage adjustment helps the installer center the optic more precisely, reducing the need to use excessive internal scope correction and preserving more reticle adjustment range.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are a long-established part of the company’s mount range and remain closely associated with traditional European hunting rifles. EAW states that it introduced this pivot-mount design more than 50 years ago, and the concept is still valued for one main reason: it allows a riflescope to be removed and reattached while maintaining consistent point of impact. That makes the series especially relevant for hunters who alternate between different optics or who want to remove a scope for transport and refit it without a full re-zero.

The series is designed for common rifles and long guns, with adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits that allow the mount to be tuned carefully to the firearm. In practical use, that adjustability supports a secure, repeatable lock-up rather than a one-size-fits-all fit. EAW also positions the pivot system as a good solution for a second scope or aiming device, which explains why the series remains popular on rifles that serve more than one role. Within the broader EAW lineup, the pivot mount stands as a traditional, mechanically focused system built around repeatability, serviceability and rifle-specific fit.

About the EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Heym Express

The EAW pivot mount, 26 mm, Heym Express is a rifle-specific pivot mount for shooters who want the handling advantages of a detachable scope setup without giving up mechanical stability. Built for the Heym Express and configured for 25.4 mm (1 inch) scope tubes, it suits classic hunting riflescopes and traditional rifle-and-optic combinations where clean fit and repeatable alignment matter as much as the optic itself.

Its steel construction is important in practical terms because a pivot mount is defined by its contact surfaces and locking geometry. Steel helps those areas resist wear over time, which supports repeatable engagement after many removal and reinstallation cycles. For a hunting rifle or a hard-used field gun, that matters more than simply saving weight. The pivot format also makes the optic easier to remove when the rifle must be packed compactly, serviced, or used with an alternative sighting setup.

A further advantage is adjustable windage. This allows the mount to be aligned more precisely to the rifle during installation, so the scope can stay closer to its optical center instead of using large internal corrections. In use, that can help preserve adjustment travel and maintain a cleaner zeroing setup. As part of the EAW Pivot Mounts family, this model is aimed at shooters who value a traditional detachable mount with rifle-specific fit, durable materials and dependable return-to-zero behavior.

About EAW

EAW was founded by Ernst Apel in Würzburg, Germany, in 1919. The company’s name comes from Ernst Apel Würzburg, adopted after Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt in 1923. EAW developed and produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus.

Today, EAW is known for making pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, alongside thermal imaging products and more recent tactical mounting solutions. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In the sporting and hunting optics field, EAW has built its reputation on precise, rifle-specific mounting systems that emphasize repeatable positioning, mechanical durability and compatibility across a wide range of firearms.
