The Warne QDXSKEL30TW QD X-SKEL Scope Mount delivers precision optics mounting with rapid deployment capabilities for tactical and hunting applications. This integrated mount and ring system combines Warne's proven machining quality with quick-detach functionality that maintains zero return shot after shot. Built from aircraft-grade aluminum with a hard anodized finish, it withstands heavy recoil and field conditions while keeping optics securely positioned.
What Makes This Different
The X-SKEL design reduces weight by 25% compared to traditional solid mounts while maintaining structural integrity through strategic material placement. Quick-detach levers lock with 15 inch-pounds of torque, creating a rock-solid connection that returns to zero within 0.25 MOA after removal and reinstallation. The skeletonized construction provides multiple drainage ports and reduces overall system weight without compromising strength.
Key Features
- 30mm tube diameter accommodates most tactical and hunting scopes
- Quick-detach levers with positive lock engagement and tactile feedback
- Skeletonized aluminum construction reduces weight while maintaining rigidity
- Picatinny rail interface with recoil lugs for secure platform attachment
- Hard anodized Type III finish resists corrosion and wear
- Integrated ring and base design eliminates alignment issues
- Tool-free operation allows rapid optics removal in the field
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero return across multiple mounting cycles, making this mount suitable for situations requiring optics removal for transport or storage. The quick-detach mechanism operates smoothly in temperatures from -40°F to 140°F, while the anodized finish maintains its protective properties through thousands of mounting cycles. Hunters appreciate the ability to quickly remove scopes for airline travel, while tactical users benefit from rapid optics swapping between platforms.
