EAW XS pivot mount, 36 mm, Voere VEC 91

• Repeatable return to zero: The EAW XS pivot mount is built so the scope can be removed and reattached without shifting point of impact, which is especially useful when a rifle alternates between different optics or transport configurations.
• 36 mm ring interface: Its 36 mm top section is suited to larger main-tube riflescopes, giving a secure mounting platform for optics that need the added stiffness of a larger tube diameter.
• Adjustable pivot-mount fit: The front and rear mount-foot fit can be adjusted, helping the mount sit correctly on the rifle and supporting consistent alignment in practical use.
• Steel construction: The steel body favors long-term durability and stable lock-up, an important advantage on hunting rifles and other firearms where the mount is repeatedly detached and reinstalled.
• Model-specific lower fit: This version is made for the Voere VEC 91 and related actions, giving a dedicated interface rather than a generic compromise solution.

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 introduced this pivot-mount design more than 50 years ago, and the series remains a core part of the brand’s mount lineup. The concept centers on a scope mount that can be removed and reattached while maintaining consistent point of impact, which makes the system practical for rifles that may carry a second scope or another aiming device.

A defining characteristic of the series is its adjustable front and rear mount-foot fit, which allows the mount to be tuned to the rifle and helps maintain proper engagement over time. EAW also positions the pivot design as a robust solution for field use, with a large front-foot bearing surface and a tension-free fit that supports repeat precision. Within the series, users can choose among different upper interfaces, including ring sizes and rail options, so the same basic mounting principle can be matched to different optics. For hunting optics in particular, the series is valued for combining secure lock-up, straightforward removal, and a low-profile mechanical design.

About the EAW XS pivot mount, 36 mm, Voere VEC 91

The EAW XS pivot mount, 36 mm, Voere VEC 91 is a dedicated steel pivot mount for fitting a 36 mm main-tube riflescope to the Voere VEC 91. Its role is straightforward but important: it provides a rifle-specific lower interface and a repeatable detachable upper mount, so the optic can be taken off for transport, access, or a change of sighting setup and then reinstalled with dependable alignment.

The XS configuration is relevant for shooters using larger-tube optics, which are often chosen for demanding hunting or precision applications where a stronger scope body and greater internal adjustment range are desirable. By matching that 36 mm tube size with a purpose-built pivot system, this mount gives the optic a stable mechanical seat without relying on adapters or improvised combinations. In practice, that means a cleaner installation and a more secure connection between rifle and scope.

Steel construction is another practical advantage of this model. It supports the repeated opening, closing, and reattachment that define a pivot mount’s real-world use, while also giving the assembly the rigidity expected on centerfire rifles. Because this version is tailored to the Voere VEC 91 platform and belongs to EAW’s established pivot-mount family, it suits shooters who want a traditional detachable mounting solution with precise fit, repeatability, and compatibility with larger 36 mm hunting optics.

About EAW

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

Today, EAW is known for German-made mounting systems for hunting and shooting optics, including pivot mounts, slide-on or roll-off mounts, and claw mounts. The company later moved production 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 in this category rests on long experience in designing precise, repeatable riflescope mounting solutions for sporting and professional use.
