The Warne 8501M Hyperlite scope rings deliver precision mounting with 40% less weight than traditional steel rings. These 1-inch medium-height rings feature Warne's advanced aluminum construction and signature cross-bolt design for reliable scope retention under heavy recoil.
What Makes This Different
The Hyperlite series uses aerospace-grade aluminum with a specialized hardening process that matches steel ring strength at a fraction of the weight. Unlike standard rings that rely solely on ring caps for retention, the 8501M incorporates Warne's proven cross-bolt system that prevents scope slippage during rapid fire sequences. The medium height provides optimal clearance for standard objective lenses while maintaining a low profile for consistent cheek weld.
Key Features
- Lightweight aluminum construction reduces overall rifle weight by 2.8 ounces compared to steel rings
- Cross-bolt locking system prevents scope rotation under heavy recoil
- Medium height (0.900" center-to-base) accommodates most standard scopes
- Matte black finish eliminates glare and resists corrosion
- Precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for consistent tolerances
- Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
- Torque specifications clearly marked for proper installation
Field testing demonstrates the 8501M maintains zero through temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F. The rings handle magnum cartridges including .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua without scope movement. Competition shooters report consistent point of impact through rapid-fire stages, while hunters appreciate the reduced carry weight during extended hunts.
