German Quick Claw Mounts Q???

[Wildwillalaska]

What is the correct term/name for the male portion of these mounts that affix to the rail portion of the scope?

I believe the system is commonly referred to as German Claw mounts and the receiving dovetail pieces, but I’m having a difficult time searching for parts that mount to the Swaro SR scope rail. Just putting rail into the search you get swamped in tacticool picatinny adaptors galore.

I am wanting to get an additional scope, likely a Z8i in 1.7-13x42 and ideally additional mounts where I could swap back and forth if so desired. I simply cannot find the mounts and only thing I’ve located thus far is repeated frustrations.

Any correct names or search terms appreciated.

Cheers,
Will

The correct name is SUHLER EINHAKMONTAGE.

Ahhhhhh…these are ones I’d get the new male mount and then need JJ to fit them.

Thanks gents.

Being something I need to send the gun, I’ll likely just swap these over to a new scope and have a set made down the road.

Is there any real benefit to this style over the Swing-Off? I’ve seen some doubles with the swing off mounts, and having used those on Rigby’s, admit having a fondness for the system. This rifle will stick with claw mounts, but if ordering another Heym, what is the considerations between the two?

Claw mounts are my favourites...no fiddly levers to unscrew or screw tight again...lot faster and easier to take scope off and replace in my mind...my rigbys and other rifles I got from paul all had claw mounts.... never used any other type for years
