At EAW you find a very wide variety of parts for claw mounts, among them, extended rear feet and rear bases for Mannlicher-Schönauer.

Claw mounts are not available as complete mounts, but they must be assembled from single parts.

The installation of a second scope on one pair of foot plates can be problematic with claw mounts, as the dimensions of the tube body of the scope vary considerably. For this reason, in most cases, the necessary interocular distance cannot be achieved. The EAW mounting rails of the models 801, 812 and 883, however, allow the use of  more than one scope in some cases, as with these rails the fixing points are pretty much variable.
