Abstract:
1. A mounting system for mounting a sighting telescope onto a firearm, wherein the firearm and/or the sighting telescope are aligned in the mounted position in an axial direction, the mounting system comprising: a pivot foot attachable to one of the sighting telescope and the firearm; a pivot holding device affixable to the other of the sighting telescope and the firearm, the pivot foot and the pivot holding device together forming a pivot joint, which during mounting enables the sighting telescope to pivot by a pivot angle around a pivot range on a plane which is formed by an axial extension of the sighting telescope and the axial direction of the firearm in the mounted position; a connection surface arranged on the pivot holding device; a clamping surface arranged on the pivot foot, which, when mounted, forms a contact area with the connection surface, so that the pivot foot is affixed to the pivot holding device in the axial direction; clamping means for elastically damping the pivot foot in the pivot holding device in a pre-tensioned state at least in the axial direction so that the connection surface is pretensioned against the clamping surface in the axial direction at the contact area,the clamping means being designed so that at least one of the connection surface and the clamping surface is compliantly arranged and/or designed, and the clamping means is arranged in at least one of the pivot foot and the pivot holding device; and an arresting device comprising an arresting foot attachable to one of the sighting telescope and the firearm and an arresting holding device attachable to the other of the sighting telescope and the firearm, the arresting device being a fixed bearing in the transverse direction and a loose bearing in the axial direction.
