EAW Roll-off Mount Base for Sako MA 05, KR 16mm

• Dedicated Sako MA 05 fit: This EAW roll-off mount base is made for the Sako MA 05 interface, giving the mount a rifle-specific foundation that supports secure alignment and consistent installation.
• 16 mm dovetail platform: The KR 16mm configuration provides the correct interface for compatible EAW roll-off mount components, making it easier to build a clean, properly matched mounting setup.
• 0 MOA inclination: With 0 MOA built in, the base keeps the optical axis neutral, which suits general hunting and sporting rifle setups where a straightforward zero is preferred.
• German-made steel mounting system: Built within EAW’s German mount-making tradition, the base is intended for dependable mechanical support and repeatable scope positioning in regular field use.
• Part of a modular mount family: As part of the EAW Roll-off Mounts system, this base works within a broader modular concept that allows the sighting setup to be configured around the rifle and optic rather than forcing a one-pattern solution.

About the EAW Roll-off Mounts Series

EAW Roll-off Mounts sit in the manufacturer’s range as a more economical alternative to its pivot mounts, aimed at shooters who want a practical detachable mounting system for lighter firearm setups. The series includes one-piece and two-piece designs and covers a wide spread of interfaces, from dovetail-based rifles to Picatinny-equipped platforms. That makes the family relevant not only for traditional sporting rifles, but also for small-calibre firearms and other compact hunting optics applications.

A defining characteristic of the series is its modular design approach. Depending on the model, the system can be configured for fixed installation or for repeatable removal and reattachment, and some variants use side support, prisms or interchangeable upper components. In practice, that gives the EAW roll-off concept a flexible place in the lineup: it is designed for shooters who value a tidy, rifle-specific mount with the option to tailor the upper structure to the optic and intended use. The result is a mount family that prioritises fit, repeatability and mechanical simplicity over unnecessary complexity.

About the EAW Roll-off Mount Base for Sako MA 05, KR 16mm

The EAW Roll-off Mount Base for Sako MA 05, KR 16mm is a rifle-specific base component for building an EAW detachable scope mounting setup on a Sako MA 05. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides the lower interface that connects the rifle to the rest of the roll-off mount system. Because this is the foundation of the assembly, correct fit matters for both mechanical stability and the repeatability expected from a detachable hunting optics mount.

The KR 16.0 mm format defines the dovetail geometry used by the upper mount components, so this base is intended for users assembling a matching EAW system rather than mixing unrelated parts. That matters in practice because a properly matched base-and-top combination helps maintain even engagement, controlled positioning and a cleaner overall installation. The specified KR 0.0 mm extension keeps the layout neutral, while the 0 MOA inclination suits rifles that do not require built-in cant for long-range elevation bias. For many sporting and hunting rifles, this makes zeroing more straightforward and keeps the scope setup centred around ordinary field distances.

As a mount base rather than a complete ring-and-base assembly, this part is best understood as a precision structural component within the wider EAW system. It is especially relevant for shooters maintaining an existing EAW setup, replacing a worn or damaged base, or building a rifle-specific installation around the proven roll-off mount concept. The emphasis here is on correct interface geometry, dependable support and compatibility with the modular EAW mounting family.

About EAW

EAW traces its origins to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business later took the name Ernst Apel Würzburg, and riflescope mount development became a central part of its work after the company produced its first scope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus, which explains EAW’s strong association with rifle mounting systems in the hunting and sporting optics market.

Today, EAW is known for making pivot, slide-on or roll-off, and claw mounts for riflescopes, alongside related products such as thermal imaging devices. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and the company is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. In this product category, EAW’s reputation rests on long-term specialisation in German-made mounting systems designed around rifle-specific fit and repeatable optic installation.
