The Warne X-SKEL scope mount delivers exceptional rigidity and precision for tactical and hunting applications. This innovative design eliminates excess material while maintaining structural integrity, creating a lighter mounting solution without compromising strength. The integrated ring and base configuration ensures perfect alignment and consistent zero retention.
What Makes This Different
The X-SKEL's skeletal design removes unnecessary material from traditional scope mounts, reducing weight by up to 30% compared to solid aluminum alternatives. The strategic cutouts maintain critical stress points while eliminating bulk, resulting in a mount that weighs just 3.2 ounces. This engineering approach provides the same clamping force and recoil resistance as heavier mounts while improving rifle balance and handling characteristics.
Key Features
- Integrated 1-inch ring and base design eliminates alignment issues
- Skeletal aluminum construction reduces weight to 3.2 ounces
- 0 MOA cant for standard elevation adjustments
- Type III hard anodized black finish resists corrosion and wear
- Fits standard Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction
- Torque specifications clearly marked for proper installation
Field testing demonstrates the X-SKEL maintains zero through extended shooting sessions and temperature variations. The mount handles magnum recoil impulses without scope shift, making it suitable for calibers from .223 Remington through .300 Winchester Magnum. The low-profile design clears bolt handles and ejection ports on most bolt-action rifles while providing adequate clearance for lens covers and scope adjustments.
