EAW XS pivot mount, 30 mm, Mauser 77

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW XS pivot mount is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without shifting the point of impact, which is valuable when a rifle is used with more than one optic or when the scope must be taken off for transport.
• 30 mm ring interface: The mount is configured for 30 mm scope tubes, giving a secure and proven attachment format for many hunting and sporting riflescopes.
• Steel construction: A steel build favors long-term rigidity and wear resistance, helping the mount maintain alignment under repeated use and recoil.
• Mauser 77 fit: This version is made specifically for the Mauser 77, which matters for correct fit, stable positioning on the rifle, and dependable function of the pivot system.
• German-made mount system: Made in Germany, this mount follows EAW’s long-established approach to precise, model-specific riflescope mounting for demanding hunting use.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established answer for shooters who want a removable riflescope mount without giving up repeatability. EAW states that it introduced this pivot-mount concept more than 50 years ago, and the series remains one of the core mount types in its lineup. The design is intended for common rifles and long guns, with model-specific lower parts and a wide choice of upper components to suit different scope tubes and sighting systems.

A defining characteristic of the series is the ability to remove and reattach the scope while maintaining the rifle’s point of impact. That makes the system especially useful for hunters who alternate between a daytime riflescope and a second aiming device, or who prefer to remove the optic for storage and transport. EAW also describes the front and rear mount-foot fits as adjustable, which is central to the precise fit and repeatability the system is known for. Within the broader family, EAW also offers variants for specific firearm types, including a lever-operated version for break-action firearms, showing that the series is built around practical firearm-specific solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, 30 mm, Mauser 77

The EAW XS pivot mount, 30 mm, Mauser 77 is a model-specific scope mount for shooters who want a traditional removable mounting system on a Mauser 77 while keeping the familiar handling advantages of a pivot design. Its upper section is sized for a 30 mm scope tube, a common format in hunting optics, making it suitable for pairing the rifle with a broad range of conventional riflescopes.

What sets this mount apart in practice is the combination of a rifle-specific lower fit and the established EAW pivot principle. On a hunting rifle, that matters because the optic can be taken off and put back on without turning the rifle into a permanent single-optic setup. This is useful when the rifle is carried in compact cases, when iron-sight access is desired, or when one rifle is used with different optics for different conditions. The pivot arrangement is also well suited to users who value a mechanical mounting solution with repeatable positioning rather than a fixed installation.

The use of steel construction supports rigidity and long service life, both important in a mount that must keep its alignment over repeated attachment cycles. As part of the EAW XS family, this version focuses on secure scope support and compatibility with the Mauser 77 platform, giving the rifle a clean, purpose-built mounting solution for field use.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. In 1923, he acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. The company developed and produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945, and since 1951 mount development and production have been its primary focus.

That long specialization explains why EAW is closely associated with model-specific mounting systems for sporting rifles. Its product range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, 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. For products such as this mount, EAW’s reputation rests on precise fit, repeatable attachment, and durable all-metal construction developed specifically for firearm optics.
