Has anyone had any experience with MAK pivot mounts at all. I am looking at a two piece pivot mount for a double, but being a pivot mount they need to be made properly to achieve repeatable results.
Does anyone know anything about MAK mounts and if they are made well, or just a cheaper option?
 
I have one MAK mount that fits the Recknagel type pivot mount hole in the rib of my Merkel double rifle. It holds a Docter / Noblex optic red dot reflex sight. The mount seems well built, fit and finish are good, repeatability and precision are good. I'm happy with it.

I had MaKlassic pivot mounts installed on my CZ 550 300 WSM and am happy with them. They look well built. On my other rifles, Mauser K98 actions and Sauer 80 I had Ziegler claw mounts installed, but Ziegler doesn't make them for the CZ 550.
 
Good to see all the positive replies.
I ended up ordering a Rechnagel one piece, with Zeiss rail.
The only reason I chose the Rechnagel over the MAK, was because my gunsmith had fitted both many times, and he preferred the Rechnagel.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
