The Warne 8500DE Hyperlite Dark Earth scope rings deliver precision mounting for 1-inch tube optics with a weight-saving design that doesn't compromise strength. These rings feature Warne's signature engineering that maintains zero under heavy recoil while reducing overall rifle weight by up to 30% compared to traditional steel rings.
What Makes This Different
The Hyperlite series utilizes advanced aluminum alloy construction with strategic material removal that maintains structural integrity while eliminating unnecessary weight. Unlike standard scope rings that rely on bulk for strength, these rings achieve superior clamping force through precision machining and optimized geometry. The Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare in tactical environments.
Key Features
- Lightweight aluminum construction reduces rifle weight without sacrificing strength
- Dark Earth Cerakote finish for durability and low-visibility operations
- Precision-machined 1-inch tube diameter for secure optic mounting
- Four-screw cap design distributes clamping pressure evenly
- Compatible with standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
- Integrated recoil lugs prevent scope movement under heavy recoil
- Torque specifications clearly marked for proper installation
These rings excel in applications where weight matters without compromising optical stability. Competition shooters benefit from the reduced front-end weight that improves rifle balance and handling speed. The robust construction handles magnum cartridges and rapid-fire sequences while maintaining consistent point of impact. The low-profile design clears most bolt handles and provides adequate clearance for oversized objective lenses.
