- Extended cantilever adds one inch of forward reach over the original SKEL Mount

Who This Is For
The Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 is built for competitive shooters, tactical operators, and AR/MSR enthusiasts who demand maximum performance without unnecessary weight. It's especially well-suited for shooters running scopes with large eye boxes or long eye relief, where additional forward cantilever is essential for a comfortable, consistent cheek weld and sight picture. If you're building a precision MSR setup or upgrading an existing optic mount, the X-SKEL Gen 2 delivers the rigidity and reliability of Warne's legendary R.A.M.P. platform in a trimmer, more forward-positioned package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Gen 2 X-SKEL different from the original Warne SKEL Mount?
The Gen 2 Extended X-SKEL adds one full inch of additional forward cantilever compared to the original SKEL Mount, making it ideal for scopes with longer eye relief or larger eye boxes. It also features an improved one-piece side clamp design for enhanced rigidity and a more consistent return to zero after removal and reinstallation.
Is this mount compatible with my AR-15 or AR-10 rifle?
Yes. The Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 is designed specifically for MSR-style firearms, including AR-15 and AR-10 platforms. It attaches to any standard Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rail. The extended cantilever design helps move the scope forward, allowing for a more natural cheek weld and proper eye relief on flat-top AR-style uppers.
What scope tube diameter does this mount accept, and can I use it with other Warne accessories?
This mount is sized for 30mm scope tubes, which is one of the most common diameters on modern tactical and hunting scopes. It is also designed to pair seamlessly with Warne accessories such as the A645 45-degree offset mount, giving you the ability to add a backup red dot or laser sight without sacrificing your primary optic position.
