EAW XS pivot mount, 34 mm, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW XS pivot mount is built so the riflescope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is valuable for transport, maintenance, or switching between optics on the same rifle.
• 34 mm ring interface: The mount is configured for 34 mm scope tubes, giving secure support for larger modern optics often chosen for hunting rifles with higher adjustment range and larger internal assemblies.
• Rifle-specific fit: This version is made for the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL platform, providing a dedicated mechanical interface instead of a universal compromise and helping maintain consistent alignment on the rifle.
• Steel construction: A steel build gives the mount the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeated removal and reinstallation, especially on rifles that see regular field use over many seasons.
• Adjustable pivot-mount design: The EAW pivot system uses adjustable front and rear mount-foot fits, allowing precise setup and helping the scope sit tension-free for stable, repeatable performance.

About the EAW Pivot Mounts Series

EAW Pivot Mounts are the company’s long-established quick-detachable mounting system for common rifles and long guns. EAW states that it developed and launched this pivot-mount design more than 50 years ago, and the concept remains centered on one practical goal: allowing an optic to be removed and reattached without changing point of impact. That makes the series especially relevant for hunters who travel with a rifle broken down, shooters who want easier access to the action for cleaning, or users who keep a second optic ready for a different task.

A defining characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit. This design supports careful installation and helps keep the scope free from unnecessary stress in the mount. EAW positions the pivot line as a premium mechanical solution rather than a simple fixed ring set, with an emphasis on repeatability, secure lock-up, and compatibility across many rifle models. Within the series, users can choose different upper interfaces and rifle-specific lower assemblies, so the system can be tailored to both the firearm and the optic while preserving the familiar handling of the classic EAW pivot principle.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, 34 mm, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL

The EAW XS pivot mount, 34 mm, Schultz & Larsen 97 DL is a dedicated steel mounting solution for fitting a 34 mm riflescope to the Schultz & Larsen 97 DL action. Its purpose is not only to hold the optic securely, but to do so in a way that supports repeatable removal and reinstallation. For a hunting rifle, that matters in real use: the scope can be detached for transport, storage, or service work and then returned to the rifle with the same established zero.

The XS configuration suits shooters using modern scopes with 34 mm main tubes, a format commonly chosen for larger adjustment travel and robust internal construction. By pairing that tube size with a rifle-specific lower fit, this mount avoids the compromises of generic mounting arrangements and gives the optic a stable mechanical base matched to the Schultz & Larsen platform. The steel construction adds rigidity and long-term durability, which is particularly important on a mount designed to be opened, closed, and reused repeatedly over time.

As part of the EAW pivot system, this model also benefits from the series’ adjustable mount-foot fit. In practice, that helps the installer fine-tune the engagement of the mount and maintain a tension-free setup. The result is a mount intended for shooters who value a traditional detachable system, dependable return-to-zero behavior, and a precise fit between rifle and optic rather than a one-size-fits-all mounting solution.

About EAW

EAW traces its history to 1919, when Ernst Apel founded the company in Würzburg, Germany. The business is closely associated with riflescope mounting systems, and it developed and produced its first riflescope mounts in 1945. Since 1951, mount development and production have been the company’s primary focus, which explains why EAW is particularly well known in the European sporting-arms market for mechanically specialized mounting solutions.

The company’s product range includes pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts, covering both traditional hunting rifles and more specialized applications. In 1923, Ernst Apel acquired Elektro-Dental-Werke Frankfurt and changed the EDW brand to EAW, meaning Ernst Apel Würzburg. Production moved from Würzburg to Gerbrunn in 1970, and Ernst Apel GmbH is now headquartered in Eibelstadt, Germany. Alongside mounts, EAW also offers thermal imaging cameras, but its reputation remains most strongly tied to precise, repeatable riflescope mounting systems.
