Warne 8502DE Hyperlite Dark Earth 1" Scope Rings - Ultra-Light

The Warne 8502DE Hyperlite Dark Earth 1" scope rings deliver exceptional strength while reducing weight by up to 40% compared to traditional steel rings. These precision-machined rings feature Warne's signature build quality in a tactical dark earth finish that complements modern rifle systems.

What Makes This Different

The Hyperlite series utilizes advanced aluminum alloy construction with strategic material removal that maintains structural integrity while shedding unnecessary weight. Each ring weighs only 1.2 ounces compared to 2.0 ounces for standard steel rings. The proprietary torque specifications ensure consistent clamping force across the entire scope tube circumference, preventing scope slippage under heavy recoil.

Key Features

• Ultra-lightweight aluminum construction reduces total ring weight to 2.4 ounces per pair
• Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and tactical appearance
• Precision CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
• Four-screw cap design distributes clamping pressure evenly around scope tube
• Compatible with Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
• Rated for magnum calibers up to .375 H&H with proper torque specifications
• Cross-bolt locking mechanism prevents ring movement under recoil

Field testing demonstrates these rings maintain zero retention through thousands of rounds across multiple rifle platforms. The reduced weight forward of the action improves rifle balance for extended shooting sessions and hunting applications. Competition shooters report improved handling characteristics during rapid target transitions. The dark earth finish resists wear from tactical slings and field use while maintaining a non-reflective surface.
