The Warne LR-SKEL 20 MOA Extended Skeleton Mount in 30mm delivers the precision engineering and featherlight construction that serious long-range shooters demand, giving you the elevation headroom and eye relief to stretch your effective range well beyond 600 yards.
- 20 MOA built-in slope unlocks extended elevation travel for long-range precision shooting
- Extended cantilever design adds roughly one inch of forward scope positioning for ideal eye relief
- CNC-machined 6061 aluminum construction reduces weight by over 30% vs. the R.A.M.P. Mount
- Skeletonized body and ring caps shed grams without sacrificing rigidity or zero retention
- #8 Torx fasteners with steel threaded inserts ensure secure, repeatable torque specs
- Extra rearward clearance accommodates accessories like the Warne A645 45-degree side mount adapter
Who This Is For
The Warne LR-SKEL Extended is purpose-built for precision rifle competitors, PRS shooters, and long-range hunters who need to wring every last click of elevation from their optic. If you're running a first focal plane scope with a large eye box on a bolt-action or semi-auto precision rifle and regularly shooting 600 yards and beyond, this mount gives you the angular advantage and mounting flexibility to do it without adding unnecessary weight to your build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of 20 MOA of built-in cant over a flat mount?
A 20 MOA canted mount pre-angles your scope downward relative to the bore, giving you significantly more usable upward elevation adjustment in your turrets. On most modern long-range riflescopes this can translate to hundreds of additional yards of elevation correction without ever running your turret to its mechanical limit — a critical benefit when engaging targets at 800, 1,000, or 1,200 yards.
Why choose the Extended LR-SKEL over the standard Warne SKEL Mount?
The Extended LR-SKEL pushes the scope approximately one inch farther forward on the rail compared to the original SKEL Mount. This is especially useful when pairing the mount with larger, heavier scopes that have generous eye boxes — it helps you achieve proper eye relief without having to position the rifle awkwardly, and it also frees up space behind the rear ring for accessories like the Warne A645 45-degree offset mount adapter.
Is this mount compatible with my Picatinny rail?
Yes. The Warne LR-SKEL Extended is designed to clamp directly to any Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rail. It is not intended for Weaver-style rails, which have slightly different cross-slot spacing. Always verify your rail standard before installing, and torque all fasteners to Warne's published specifications using a proper Torx driver to ensure a secure, repeatable zero.
