The Warne 8500M Hyperlite scope rings deliver precision mounting for 1-inch scopes while maintaining an ultra-low profile for optimal cheek weld. These low-height rings feature Warne's signature matte black finish that eliminates glare and provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh field conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Hyperlite construction reduces weight by 30% compared to traditional steel rings without sacrificing structural integrity. Each ring undergoes precision CNC machining from aircraft-grade aluminum, creating perfectly round mounting surfaces that prevent scope damage. The integrated recoil lug system distributes stress across the entire base contact area, eliminating the ring shifting common with basic mounting solutions.
Key Features
- Ultra-low profile design maximizes scope adjustment range and maintains proper eye relief
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction weighs 40% less than steel equivalents
- Precision-machined 1-inch tube diameter with ±0.0005" tolerance
- Integrated recoil lug prevents forward movement under heavy recoil
- Four-screw cap design distributes clamping force evenly around scope tube
- Compatible with all Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
- Matte black Type III hard anodized finish resists scratches and corrosion
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F. The low mounting height positions scopes closer to the bore axis, reducing holdover calculations for long-range shooting. Competition shooters report improved consistency due to the repeatable cheek weld position these rings provide. The corrosion-resistant finish maintains appearance and function through extended exposure to salt spray and humidity.
