@SkullKeeper what you’re looking for isn’t going to be helpful to you. There are several components to an ERA ring including the top, a middle block, a windage block, and an offset foot. (Plus the bases).

For a mass-produced medium-quality current European arm, you can order away for $500-$700 and get a pre-configured set that works generally like horsesh&t. (Too tall in order to cover various scopes and to clear a flag safety if one exists)

For about everything else, its like playing with legos. You put it all together and then find out your scope is out of level with the bore. (Always) Then you realize the easiest way to correct is ordered a different windage block to the nearest half-mm to make it better by getting taller or lower in the rear.

Feel free to PM me and I can give you my contact info if you want to discuss the process of fitting ERA pivot mounts. For your gun, the easiest distance between where you are at and where you need to be are Talley Small-Ring two piece mounts and then Talley 1” QD lever rings in low or medium depending upon your optic.

But if you want to give it a go, I would be happy to rob you by selling you a pile of ERA parts that won’t work out to your satisfaction.

Examples of a few guns I’ve done with EAW mounts in recent years. The illustrations will show all the parts and you can visualize perhaps how complex getting the fit right actually is. It’s easy for NECG to do it because they can run to the shelf and grab 1000s of part numbers to adjust it. When you order the parts, its like taking measurements to cut the hope diamond. I’ve spent 4-6 hours before ordering my parts build to ensure fit and even then, relying on a gunsmith’s chest full of parts to install wrong and create differential measurements for sanity-checking.

I was never very good with LEGO’s ....ok, I’m tapping out on the pivot mounts. The Talley road looks good ... PM sent ...and THANK YOU

You’re a great guy, it was nice chatting with you @SkullKeeper. Your new project sounds great and your choice of caliber and optic sounds perfect for an africa/North America do-all! Share with the forum as the build comes together!
