EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Tikka M 695

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW pivot design is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact, which is valuable for rifles that alternate between optics or need quick access to iron sights.
• Made for S&B Convex Rail optics: This version is configured for the Schmidt & Bender Convex rail interface, giving a secure, purpose-built connection without separate rings and helping maintain consistent alignment.
• Adjustable front and rear feet: The pivot system allows fit adjustment at both mounting feet, which helps the mount be set up precisely on the rifle and supports stable, tension-free engagement.
• Steel construction: A steel mount is well suited to repeated use and long service life, especially on hunting rifles where the optic may be detached and reinstalled over many seasons.
• Rifle-specific lower fit: This mount is matched to the Tikka M 695 platform, giving a dedicated interface for a clean installation and dependable positioning on the action.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detach mounting system, a design that EAW states it introduced more than 50 years ago. The series is intended for common rifles and long guns where the shooter wants the flexibility to remove an optic and reinstall it later without shifting zero. That makes the system especially relevant for traditional hunting rifles, multi-optic setups and firearms that may be used with a second aiming device.

A defining characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be tuned to the individual rifle and optic combination. EAW also designed the pivot system around consistent point-of-impact retention, so repeated removal does not turn into repeated re-zeroing. In practical use, the concept combines the security of a dedicated steel mount with the convenience of a detachable system. Within EAW’s lineup, the pivot mounts sit as a long-established solution for shooters who value repeatability, mechanical precision and a low-profile installation tailored to specific rifle and scope interfaces.

About the EAW pivot mount, S&B Convex rail, Tikka M 695

This version of the EAW pivot mount is configured specifically for the Tikka M 695 and for optics that use the S&B Convex Rail interface. That combination makes it a practical choice for shooters who want a rifle-specific mounting solution rather than a universal rail-and-ring arrangement. By matching the lower part of the mount to the Tikka action and the upper part to the Schmidt & Bender rail profile, the system is designed to keep the optic aligned securely while preserving the clean handling of the rifle.

The main advantage of this mount is not only that it holds the scope firmly, but that it does so in a format meant for repeatable removal and reattachment. For a hunting rifle, that can matter when switching between optics, transporting the firearm more compactly or clearing the top of the action when needed. Because the pivot design uses adjustable engagement at the mounting feet, it supports a precise fit and a stable lock-up. The steel construction also suits a mount that may be opened and closed many times over its service life, offering the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a traditional all-steel hunting mount. In practice, this is a dedicated quick-detach solution for shooters who want the convenience of a removable scope without giving up mechanical consistency.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business developed its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its main focus. Over time, EAW became particularly known for precision mounting systems for sporting and hunting rifles, including pivot, slide-on and claw mounts.

The company later moved production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In addition to traditional riflescope mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras and introduced a tactical mount series in 2023. For products such as the pivot mount, EAW’s reputation rests on long experience in building rifle-specific mounting solutions with an emphasis on repeatability, mechanical fit and durable German manufacture.
