But the pivot isn't anything like as fast or as simple to use as the claw.

On a large bore double, mounts need to be strong and detachable in less than a couple seconds.

I'm NOT talking 2 seconds or thereabouts for this.
Nowhere near that long!
It takes less than 1 second from when you hit the lever to when the scope is totally clear of the gun.
Putting the scope back on takes a tiny bit longer, between 1 to 1.2 seconds, from scope off the rifle, to back on and lever locked.

Maybe the release system on the pivot mount that you have found to be so slow, is of a different type, one which takes longer to operate?

Honestly, I cannot see how anyone would require a scope to be removed or replaced any faster than the EAW style I have described here, and I rather doubt that any claw mount system is going to be any faster than that type of pivot system.

The EAW system I use may well be a "cheaper" system than the claw mount, but I do not agree that it is slower in operation to any noticable degree.
