EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL

• Repeatable return to zero: The pivot design lets the optic be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is useful when switching between optics or when the rifle must be transported more compactly.
• SR rail interface: Built for Swarovski SR rail optics, this mount provides a secure, aligned connection without separate rings, helping preserve consistent positioning and a clean overall setup.
• Steel construction: The steel body gives the mount the rigidity needed for dependable long-term use on hunting rifles, with the strength to resist wear at the locking surfaces.
• Rifle-specific fit: This version is made for the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL platform, giving a dedicated fit that supports stable installation and proper function on compatible actions.
• Adjustable pivot system: EAW pivot mounts use adjustable front and rear foot fits, which helps the mount be set up precisely and maintain tension-free, repeatable engagement over time.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s classic quick-detachable mounting system for sporting rifles and other common long guns. EAW states that it developed and introduced this design more than 50 years ago, and the concept remains central to the brand’s mount lineup because it combines secure lock-up with repeatable reattachment. The series is built around a practical idea: the scope can be removed and fitted again without changing the rifle’s point of impact, which makes the system well suited to hunters who use more than one optic or who need to remove the sight for transport and storage.

A defining characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear foot fit. This allows careful fitting to the rifle and helps keep the optic under consistent, tension-free engagement. EAW also designed the pivot system with a large front-foot bearing surface for stability, while the rear lock supports quick handling in the field. Within the broader EAW range, Pivot Mounts sit as a traditional, rifle-specific solution for shooters who value repeat precision, modularity and a low-profile mechanical design over universal one-piece rail systems.

About the EAW pivot mount, Swarovski SR rail, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL

This version of the EAW pivot mount is configured for a Swarovski SR rail optic and the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL rifle family. That combination makes it a purpose-built mounting solution for hunters who want the clean alignment of a rail-mounted scope together with the practical advantages of a detachable pivot system. Because the mount is matched to both the rifle platform and the optic interface, it supports a stable installation with consistent positioning each time the scope is attached.

The use of an SR rail eliminates the need for conventional scope rings, which helps keep the optic straight and evenly supported along the rail contact surface. In practice, that can simplify installation and reduce the chance of unwanted stress on the scope body. On a rifle such as the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL, this matters to shooters who expect reliable zero retention and want an optic setup that can be removed when using another sighting system or when packing the rifle for travel.

The mount body is made from steel, a material choice that suits a component exposed to repeated locking, unlocking and recoil forces. In field use, that translates into durable engagement surfaces and a solid mechanical feel. As part of the EAW Pivot Mounts family, this model also benefits from the series’ adjustable fitting concept, which is intended to support precise installation and repeatable return to zero rather than simple one-time attachment.

About EAW

EAW traces its roots to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business took on the EAW name in 1923, derived from Ernst Apel Würzburg, and it produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s main focus, which explains why EAW is closely associated with mechanical scope-mount systems for hunting and sporting rifles.

Today, EAW is based in Eibelstadt, Germany, after production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970. The company’s expertise covers pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts, alongside thermal imaging products. In this product category, EAW is particularly known for rifle-specific steel mounting solutions that emphasize repeat precision, modularity and long service life.
