The Warne 501M Maxima scope rings deliver precision mounting with superior strength for 1-inch diameter scopes. These medium-height rings feature Warne's proven horizontal split design and zero MOA cant for reliable, repeatable performance across multiple shooting disciplines.
What Makes This Different
The Maxima series incorporates Warne's proprietary steel construction with precision-machined surfaces that eliminate scope slippage under heavy recoil. Unlike standard rings that rely on basic compression, the 501M utilizes a four-screw horizontal split configuration that distributes clamping force evenly around the scope tube. This design maintains consistent zero retention through temperature changes and sustained firing sessions.
Key Features
- 1-inch tube diameter with medium height clearance for standard objective lenses
- Four-screw horizontal split design prevents scope rotation and slippage
- Precision-machined steel construction rated for magnum cartridge recoil
- Matte black finish reduces glare and resists corrosion
- 0 MOA cant ensures level scope alignment without shimming
- Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
- Torque specifications clearly marked for proper installation
Field testing demonstrates the 501M maintains zero through rapid temperature fluctuations and sustained firing sequences common in competitive shooting and hunting applications. The medium height provides adequate clearance for most standard objective lenses while maintaining a low profile for comfortable cheek weld. The matte finish eliminates reflection issues in bright conditions while the steel construction handles the stress of heavy-recoiling cartridges without deformation.
