EAW Rear Base for Pivot Mount, Sauer 101

• Detachable pivot-mount interface: This rear base forms part of EAW’s pivot-mount system, allowing the optic to be removed and reattached with repeatable positioning for rifles that need both scoped and open-sight use.
• Model-specific fit for Sauer 101: Built for the Sauer 101 action, it provides the correct rear mounting point for a clean, secure installation without relying on improvised universal parts.
• Made in Germany construction: German manufacture reflects the tight machining and consistent fit that matter in a mount component, where alignment and repeatability are as important as strength.
• Part of an adjustable system: Within the EAW Pivot Mounts concept, the mount-foot interfaces are adjustable, helping the complete mounting setup accommodate tolerances and maintain stable scope seating.
• Black protective finish: The black finish gives the base a discreet appearance on the rifle and helps it blend visually with modern actions and scope hardware.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are one of the company’s best-known hunting optics mounting systems and have been part of the EAW range for more than 50 years. The series is built for common rifles and long guns, with a modular layout that lets the mount be matched to specific firearm models and optic setups. A defining feature of the system is its ability to let a riflescope be removed and reattached without changing the point of impact, which is especially useful for hunters who alternate between different optics or switch back to iron sights.

The series is designed around practical adjustability rather than one-piece universality. Front and rear mount-foot fits are adjustable, which helps the complete mount system compensate for tolerances and maintain a stable, repeatable lock-up. EAW also positions the pivot-mount concept as a strong choice for a second scope or aiming device, making it relevant for rifles that serve more than one role across changing light and terrain conditions. Within the wider EAW lineup, Pivot Mounts sit as a traditional, mechanically focused solution for shooters who value repeatable removal, rifle-specific fit, and long-term serviceability.

About the EAW Rear Base for Pivot Mount, Sauer 101

The EAW Rear Base for Pivot Mount, Sauer 101 is the rifle-specific rear mounting element used in an EAW pivot-mount setup on the Sauer 101. As a dedicated rear base rather than a universal adapter, it is made to match the geometry of this action and provide the correct engagement point for the rear section of the mount. That matters in practice because a pivot mount depends on precise alignment between front and rear contact points to deliver the repeatability the system is known for.

On a hunting rifle such as the Sauer 101, a rear base like this supports one of the main advantages of the pivot-mount concept: the optic can be detached when needed and reinstalled with dependable positioning. This is useful for rifles that may carry different sighting systems for driven hunting, stalking, or general field use. Because it belongs to the EAW Pivot Mounts family, it also fits into a system built around adjustable mount-foot interfaces, which helps the complete assembly seat correctly and stay stable under recoil.

The design is mechanically straightforward, which is exactly what a base component should be. Its job is to provide a secure rear interface, preserve alignment, and support the low-profile, rifle-specific character of a classic detachable mount. Finished in black and made in Germany, it suits shooters who want a traditional detachable mounting solution with a strong emphasis on fit, repeatability, and compatibility with the Sauer 101 platform.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later moved production from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. The company developed and produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its primary focus.

Today, EAW is especially known for riflescope mounting systems, including pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts. That long specialization is directly relevant to products such as the Sauer 101 rear base, where machining accuracy, repeatable fit, and system compatibility are central to performance. In addition to mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging devices, but its reputation in the sporting optics market remains closely tied to durable German-made mounting solutions for hunting and shooting rifles.
