The Warne X-SKEL 30mm Scope Mount delivers precision optics mounting with integrated ring design in durable Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish. This one-piece mount eliminates the alignment issues common with separate ring systems while providing rock-solid scope retention under heavy recoil.
What Makes This Different
The X-SKEL mount features Warne's proprietary skeletal design that reduces weight by 20% compared to traditional solid mounts while maintaining structural integrity. The integrated ring system ensures perfect alignment between rings, eliminating the scope binding that occurs with mismatched components. Precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with stress-relief points, this mount handles magnum cartridges without shifting zero.
Key Features
- One-piece integrated 30mm ring design eliminates ring alignment issues
- Skeletal construction reduces weight while maintaining 1,500 inch-pound recoil rating
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and low-glare profile
- Precision-machined 7075-T6 aluminum construction with CNC tolerances
- Weaver/Picatinny rail compatible with standard spacing
- Four-screw ring caps with 18 inch-pound torque specification
- Return-to-zero capability maintains point of impact after scope removal
Field testing demonstrates the X-SKEL mount maintains zero through temperature cycling from -20°F to 140°F and withstands 3,000+ round count evaluations with magnum cartridges. The skeletal cutouts provide scope adjustment access without mount removal while reducing overall system weight for extended carry applications. Competition shooters report consistent point of impact through rapid-fire strings where thermal expansion typically affects lesser mounts.
