Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need the 3/8" or 11mm dovetail setting?
The Warne reversible clamp handles both — simply flip the asymmetrical clamp 180° to switch between the narrower 3/8" dovetail (common on most American-made rimfire rifles) and the slightly wider 11mm dovetail (common on many European and CZ rimfire rifles). Check your rifle's receiver rail width if unsure, but in most cases you can test fit both orientations for the best, snug engagement.
Will these rings hold zero after removing and reattaching the scope?
Yes. Warne's QD system is engineered for repeatable return-to-zero performance, meaning you can remove your optic for storage or transport and reinstall it without losing your zero. For best results, always torque the cap screws to the recommended 25 in/lb using a T-15 Torx driver and ensure the rail is clean and free of debris before reattaching.
What scope objective lens size works best with medium-height rings?
Medium-height rings are generally well-suited for scopes with objective lenses in the 32mm–40mm range on a standard rimfire dovetail rail. If your scope has a larger objective (42mm or more), you may want to consider high rings to ensure adequate clearance between the lens housing and the barrel. Always measure your specific scope's objective bell diameter and compare it to the ring height before purchasing.
