EAW QD Roll-off Mount for Picatinny, Zeiss ZM/VM

• Quick-detachable repeatability: The lever-lock roll-off design lets the optic be removed and reattached without turning the rifle into a permanent single-optic setup, which is useful when switching between sighting systems or transporting the rifle more compactly.
• Picatinny to Zeiss rail interface: This mount connects a Picatinny rail rifle platform with a Zeiss ZM / VM Rail scope, giving a secure, purpose-built fit without relying on separate ring halves for the upper interface.
• Steel construction: The steel body favors rigidity and long-term wear resistance, helping the mount stay stable under repeated attachment cycles and regular field use.
• 0 MOA alignment: With 0 MOA inclination, the mount keeps the optic in a neutral position that suits general hunting and sporting rifle setups where added cant is not required.
• Made in Germany: German manufacture reflects EAW’s emphasis on precise fit and consistent tolerances, which matters in a detachable mount where repeatable positioning is as important as raw clamping strength.

About the EAW Roll-off Mounts Series

EAW Roll-off Mounts sit in the brand’s lineup as a more economical alternative to its pivot mounts, aimed at shooters who want repeatable detachable mounting without moving to a more elaborate system. The series includes one-piece and two-piece designs and covers a wide range of interfaces, including versions for Picatinny rails and various dovetail-style mounting solutions. Across the range, the core idea is practical rather than decorative: the optic can be removed and reattached while preserving the precise fit expected from EAW.

Within the family, EAW developed these mounts for lighter firearm setups, including air rifles and small-calibre shotguns, while also offering versions for common rifles with integrated mounting surfaces. Depending on the model, the series is available for fixed installation or with lever locks for repeatable attachment. Some variants also use pivot-mounted rings or prism-style tops with side support. What ties the series together is a mechanical design focused on clean alignment, dependable clamping and straightforward handling for shooters who value a detachable mount that remains practical in everyday use.

About the EAW QD Roll-off Mount for Picatinny, Zeiss ZM/VM

The EAW QD Roll-off Mount for Picatinny, Zeiss ZM/VM is a specialized detachable mount built for rifles that use a Picatinny rail and optics with the Zeiss ZM / VM Rail interface. That combination makes it especially relevant for shooters who want the clean profile and secure engagement of a Zeiss rail-mounted scope while keeping the flexibility of a quick-detachable base on the rifle. Instead of adapting the scope through conventional rings, this mount is configured around the rail interface itself, which simplifies the upper connection and suits premium rail-equipped optics.

The mount uses a lever-operated quick-detach system, so the optic can be removed for transport, storage or a change of sighting setup, then reinstalled with the consistency expected from a repeatable mount. In practical use, that matters on rifles that may alternate between optics or need a removable setup without giving up a stable return to position. The steel construction supports that role by prioritizing strength and resistance to wear at the contact points, especially important on a mount designed for repeated on-and-off use.

Its 0 MOA inclination keeps the scope in a neutral alignment, which is well suited to general-purpose sporting and hunting rifles rather than highly specialized long-range builds that require added cant. The black finish keeps the appearance understated, while the KR 0.0 mm extension indicates a straight, non-offset layout. For compatible rifles such as Picatinny-equipped sporting and tactical platforms, this EAW mount offers a direct and mechanically focused way to pair a Zeiss rail scope with a detachable mounting system.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business entered the riflescope-mount field in 1945 with its first scope mounts, and since 1951 the development and production of mounting systems have been its main focus. That long specialization is central to EAW’s reputation: the company is known above all for mechanical mounting solutions rather than general sporting goods.

Over time, EAW expanded its range to include pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, alongside newer tactical mounting solutions and thermal imaging products. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In this product category, EAW is particularly associated with precise detachable mounts built for repeatability, secure fit and compatibility with a broad variety of rifles and optic interfaces.
