- Extended cantilever adds one full inch of forward eye relief over original SKEL

Who This Is For
The Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 Extended is ideal for competitive shooters, tactical enthusiasts, and precision rifle builders who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing rock-solid zero retention. It's especially well-suited for AR-platform shooters running large-eyebox optics who need additional eye relief clearance, or those who want extra real estate behind the mount to attach a Warne A645 45-degree offset mount or similar accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Gen 2 Extended different from the original Warne SKEL Mount?
The Gen 2 Extended X-SKEL adds approximately one full inch of additional forward cantilever compared to the original SKEL Mount, making it easier to achieve proper eye relief with large-eyebox optics. It also features an improved one-piece side clamp design for enhanced rigidity and returns to zero more consistently under hard use. The skeletonized construction still shaves over 30% of the weight compared to Warne's R.A.M.P. platform.
Will this mount work with my AR-15 or AR-10 rifle?
Yes. The Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 Extended is designed specifically for MSR-style firearms including both AR-15 and AR-10 platforms. It interfaces with any standard Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rail, which is factory-installed on the vast majority of AR-pattern upper receivers. Always confirm your upper receiver features a full-length or adequate-length Picatinny top rail before mounting.
What scope tube sizes are compatible, and can I mount a 1-inch tube scope?
This specific model is engineered for 30mm scope tubes, which is the most common diameter on modern tactical and precision optics. It is not compatible with 1-inch (25.4mm) or 34mm tube scopes. If you are running a 1-inch or 34mm scope, Warne offers X-SKEL variants in those tube sizes — be sure to match the mount to your optic's tube diameter before purchasing.
