Warne Gen 2 Extended Skeleton 1" Rifle Scope Mount Black
The Warne Gen 2 Extended Skeleton (X-SKEL) 1" Scope Mount delivers a precision-engineered, featherlight mounting solution for MSR-style rifles, combining Warne's legendary return-to-zero reliability with an aggressively skeletonized design that sheds unnecessary weight without sacrificing strength.
- CNC machined from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for maximum durability
- Skeletonized body and ring caps reduce weight by over 30% vs. R.A.M.P. Mount
- Extended cantilever adds one extra inch of forward scope positioning
- One-piece side clamp design provides superior clamping strength and rigidity
- Designed for 1" scope tubes — fits standard Picatinny/MIL-STD-1913 rails
- Maintains Warne's trusted return-to-zero performance after removal and reinstallation
Who This Is For
The Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 Extended mount is ideal for AR-15, AR-10, and other MSR-platform shooters who run 1" optics and want to cut every possible ounce from their build without compromising zero retention. The extended cantilever makes it especially well-suited for scopes with generous eye boxes or longer eye relief requirements, and the forward positioning frees up valuable real estate on the rail for accessories like offset red dot mounts or backup iron sights.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Gen 2 Extended different from the original Warne SKEL mount?
The Gen 2 Extended X-SKEL builds on the original Skeleton mount with two key upgrades: an additional inch of forward cantilever for improved eye relief and scope positioning, and a one-piece side clamp design that enhances clamping strength and overall rigidity. The Gen 2 also retains the skeletonized body and ring caps that cut weight by more than 30% compared to Warne's R.A.M.P. Mount platform.
Is this mount compatible with my AR-15 or other MSR-style rifle?
Yes. The Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 Extended is designed specifically for MSR-style firearms (including AR-15 and AR-10 platforms) and attaches to any standard Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rail. Be sure your rifle's rail is Picatinny-spec, and confirm your scope has a 1" main tube to match this mount's ring diameter before purchasing.
Will this mount hold zero if I remove and reinstall it?
Absolutely. Return-to-zero performance is a hallmark of Warne's mount lineup, and the X-SKEL Gen 2 is no exception. When torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specifications, the mount reliably returns to the same zero after removal and reinstallation — making it a great choice for hunters and competition shooters who frequently swap optics between builds.
