Who This Is For

Frequently Asked Questions
What scopes will fit the Warne X-SKEL Gen 2 Extended mount?
This mount is designed for scopes with a 30mm main tube diameter. It is compatible with a wide range of modern rifle scopes from brands like Vortex, Leupold, Nightforce, Primary Arms, and many others. Make sure your scope's tube — not the bell or eyepiece — measures 30mm before ordering.
Why choose the "Extended" version over the standard SKEL mount?
The Extended (X-SKEL) version adds approximately one inch of additional forward cantilever compared to the original SKEL mount. This extra forward reach is especially beneficial when using scopes with large eye boxes or long eye relief, and it creates additional space behind the mount for accessories such as the Warne A645 45-degree offset mount or other rail-mounted devices.
Will this mount hold zero after being removed and reinstalled?
Yes. Warne's Gen 2 X-SKEL is built on the same R.A.M.P. platform philosophy that Warne is known for — featuring a one-piece side clamp design and precision-machined Picatinny interface that consistently returns to zero after removal. This makes it an excellent choice for any shooter who needs to transfer optics between rifles or perform maintenance without re-zeroing.
