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

• Lever-lock pivot design: The mount can be removed and reattached quickly, making it practical for hunters who switch between optics or want to transport the rifle more compactly while keeping repeatable alignment.
• 26 mm ring configuration: Built for classic 26 mm riflescopes, this version gives a secure mechanical fit for traditional hunting optics without relying on adapters or improvised solutions.
• Steel construction: A steel body adds the rigidity and wear resistance needed for long-term use, helping the mount maintain consistent lock-up under recoil and repeated handling.
• Rifle-specific fit for Browning X-Bolt SSA: The mount is made for the FN Browning X-Bolt SSA platform, which simplifies proper installation geometry and supports dependable return-to-zero performance.
• EAW adjustable mount-foot system: The pivot-mount design uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing precise setup so the scope seats correctly and the mechanism closes with the right tension.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns. EAW states that it introduced this pivot-mount concept more than 50 years ago, and the series remains one of the core mount categories in its range. The idea behind the system is practical rather than decorative: a scope can be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact when the mount is correctly fitted, which is valuable for hunters who rely on one rifle with more than one sighting setup.

A defining feature of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be tuned to the rifle and optic combination for secure, repeatable engagement. That repeatability is what gives the system its reputation among traditional hunting rifles and premium sporting firearms. Within the series, EAW also offers a lever-operated variant, developed so the closure is placed on the scope mount itself rather than on the firearm. This approach suits users who want faster handling and straightforward optic changes while keeping the classic pivot principle that has made the series a mainstay in hunting optics mounting.

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

The EAW pivot mount - lever lock, 26 mm, Browning X-bolt SSA is a rifle-specific quick-detachable mount for pairing a 26 mm riflescope with the FN Browning X-Bolt SSA. Its purpose is simple: give the rifle a secure, repeatable scope installation that can also be removed when needed. That matters for hunters who alternate between a daytime scope and another aiming device, or who prefer to remove the optic for transport, storage or access to the rifle’s original handling profile.

The lever-lock layout makes this version especially practical in the field. Instead of treating the mount as a fixed accessory, the design supports fast removal and reattachment with a controlled mechanical closure. On a hunting rifle, that means less disruption when changing setups and more confidence that the optic returns to the same seated position when the mount is properly fitted. Because this model is built around steel construction, it prioritises rigidity and long-term durability, both of which are important for maintaining consistent lock-up over years of recoil and repeated use.

The KR 26.0 mm extension and 26 mm ring format make it suitable for classic European-style scope tubes, while the rifle-specific geometry for the Browning X-Bolt SSA helps preserve proper alignment between action and optic. As part of the EAW pivot system, the adjustable mount-foot fit is central to how the mount works in practice: it allows precise setup so the mechanism closes correctly, the scope sits securely, and the rifle retains the repeatability expected from a premium hunting optics mount.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. In 1923, he acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. 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 explains why EAW is closely associated with traditional European scope-mount engineering. Its range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts for riflescopes, with later additions for tactical applications and thermal imaging. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. For products such as this Browning-specific pivot mount, EAW’s reputation rests on precise fit, repeatable attachment and durable steel-based construction for hunting and sporting rifles.
