EAW pivot mount - lever lock, 26 mm, Browning X-bolt SA

• Lever-lock pivot design: The mount can be removed and reattached quickly without tools, making it practical for rifles that alternate between a riflescope and another aiming solution while preserving repeatable alignment.
• 26 mm ring interface: Built for 26 mm scope tubes, this version suits classic hunting optics and keeps the installation matched to the scope body for a secure, properly supported fit.
• Steel construction: A steel build adds the rigidity and wear resistance needed for a mount that is opened, closed and reused over many seasons in the field.
• Extended KR 26.0 mm configuration: The extended layout helps position the scope correctly on the rifle, which is useful when balancing eye relief, bolt clearance and overall handling.
• Rifle-specific Browning X-Bolt fit: Designed for the Browning X-Bolt short-action pattern, the mount gives a model-matched interface instead of a generic base solution, supporting stable installation and dependable return to zero.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are one of the company’s longest-established mounting systems, with the design introduced more than 50 years ago and still central to the brand’s lineup. The series is built for common rifles and long guns and is intended for shooters who want a removable scope mount without giving up repeatability. Its defining advantage is the ability to take an optic off the rifle and reinstall it again without changing the point of impact, which is especially useful when one rifle is used with more than one sighting setup.

The series is also known for its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, allowing the mount to be tuned precisely to the firearm and optic combination. Within the family, EAW offers versions for different tube diameters and rifle platforms, including lever-operated variants for applications where fast handling matters. In practical use, the Pivot Mounts series appeals to hunters and traditional rifle users who value a clean, repeatable mounting system that supports optic changes, transport and maintenance without turning the rifle into a permanent one-scope setup.

About the EAW pivot mount - lever lock, 26 mm, Browning X-bolt SA

The EAW pivot mount - lever lock, 26 mm, Browning X-bolt SA is a rifle-specific mounting solution for shooters using a Browning X-Bolt short action with a 26 mm scope tube. Its main strength is the combination of a pivot mount layout with a lever lock, which allows the scope to be detached and reinstalled quickly and with consistent positioning. That matters in the field when the rifle may be transported with the optic removed, shared between different sighting setups, or kept ready for a second optic without a lengthy remounting process.

The KR 26.0 mm extended configuration gives additional flexibility in scope placement. In practice, that helps when setting correct eye relief or accommodating the proportions of a particular hunting scope on the X-Bolt action. Because the mount is built from steel, it prioritises rigidity and long-term durability over minimal weight, which is a sensible choice for a repeatable pivot system that depends on precise mechanical engagement over years of use.

As part of the EAW hunting optics mount range, this model is aimed at shooters who prefer a traditional detachable mount rather than a fixed base-and-ring arrangement. The result is a setup that supports secure scope mounting, repeatable return to position and straightforward handling, while remaining tailored to the geometry of the Browning X-Bolt platform.

About EAW

EAW was founded by Ernst Apel in Würzburg, Germany, in 1919. The company produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 the development and production of riflescope mounts have been its primary focus. That long concentration on mounting systems is a key reason the brand is closely associated with repeatable, rifle-specific solutions for hunting and sporting firearms.

Over time, EAW expanded its range to include pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, reflecting a strong emphasis on mechanical fit and application-specific design. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In addition to mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, but its reputation remains especially tied to German-made scope mounting systems built for precise fit, repeatable removal and long service life.
