Who This Is For
The Warne LR-SKEL Extended is purpose-built for competitive long-range precision rifle shooters, PRS competitors, and serious hunters who need every available MOA of elevation travel to reach out past 600 yards. If you run a high-magnification scope with a generous eye box and want a mount that keeps your rifle system as light as possible without compromising zero retention, this is your mount.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need 20 MOA built into my scope mount?
Most rifle scopes have a limited total elevation adjustment range — often 60 to 80 MOA. At distances beyond 600 yards, especially with heavier, slower-moving projectiles, you may need 40–60+ MOA of elevation just to reach your target. A 20 MOA canted mount effectively shifts your scope's elevation "starting point" downward, freeing up more of that internal travel for long-range holds and leaving plenty of room to dial back in for close-range zeroing.
What makes the Extended version different from the standard Warne SKEL Mount?
The LR-SKEL Extended adds approximately one inch of forward cantilever compared to the original SKEL Mount. This pushes the scope further forward on the receiver, which is essential for achieving proper eye relief when using scopes with large objective lenses or generous eye boxes. The extended position also frees up additional space behind the mount for accessories such as the Warne A645 45-degree side mount adapter.
Will this mount fit my Picatinny rail, and is it compatible with my scope?
Yes — the Warne LR-SKEL Extended is designed to clamp directly onto standard Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rails, which are found on the vast majority of modern bolt-action and semi-automatic precision rifles. The ring diameter is 1 inch (25.4 mm), so it is compatible with any scope that has a 1-inch main tube. If your optic has a 30 mm or 34 mm tube, you would need the corresponding Warne LR-SKEL variant for those tube sizes.
