The Warne 8520M Hyperlite scope rings deliver precision mounting for 34mm optics while reducing overall rifle weight by up to 30% compared to traditional steel rings. These low-profile rings maintain zero under heavy recoil while providing the clearance needed for tactical and hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
Warne's Hyperlite construction uses aircraft-grade aluminum with strategic material removal that maintains structural integrity while eliminating unnecessary weight. The proprietary clamping system distributes stress evenly across the scope tube, preventing point loading that can damage expensive optics. Each ring weighs just 1.2 ounces compared to 1.8 ounces for comparable steel rings, yet maintains the same 1,500 inch-pound recoil rating.
Key Features
- 34mm tube diameter accommodates modern tactical and long-range scopes
- Low height provides optimal cheek weld with standard rifle stocks
- Matte black finish eliminates glare and matches most tactical rifles
- Four-screw cap design ensures consistent, repeatable mounting pressure
- CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Compatible with Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
- Torque specifications laser-etched on each ring for field reference
These rings excel in competitive shooting where every ounce matters, tactical applications requiring quick target transitions, and hunting situations demanding reliable zero retention. The low profile works particularly well with AR-platform rifles and bolt-action precision rifles where maintaining proper eye relief is critical. Weather-resistant anodizing protects against corrosion in harsh field conditions.
