Warne 8550M Hyperlite 1" Scope Rings - Ultra-Lightweight Aluminum

The Warne 8550M Hyperlite scope rings deliver precision mounting with 40% less weight than traditional steel rings. These 1-inch tube rings feature aircraft-grade aluminum construction with a hard-anodized black finish that resists wear and corrosion.

What Makes This Different

The Hyperlite series uses advanced aluminum alloy that maintains the strength of steel rings while dramatically reducing weight. Each ring weighs only 0.8 ounces compared to 1.3 ounces for comparable steel models. The proprietary manufacturing process creates consistent bore dimensions within 0.0005 inches, ensuring optimal scope alignment without stress points that can affect accuracy.

Key Features

• Ultra-lightweight aluminum construction - 40% lighter than steel equivalents
• Precision-machined 1-inch bore diameter with ±0.0005" tolerance
• Hard-anodized Type III black finish for maximum durability
• Four-screw cap design with 18 in-lbs torque specification
• Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
• Integrated recoil lugs prevent forward movement under heavy recoil
• Medium height provides clearance for most objective lens sizes

Field testing demonstrates these rings maintain zero through thousands of rounds across various calibers from .223 Remington to .300 Winchester Magnum. The aluminum construction proves especially valuable for mountain hunting applications where every ounce matters, while the hard-anodized finish withstands harsh weather conditions from desert heat to arctic cold. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent return to zero after scope removal and reinstallation.
