Who This Is For
These rings are ideal for hunters, competitive shooters, and tactical users who run 1" scopes on Weaver-compatible rifles and need a low-profile yet extra-high mount height to clear larger objective lenses, bolt handles, or night-vision devices — without sacrificing zero retention under heavy recoil.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these rings fit my Picatinny rail?
Yes. The Warne Maxima Fixed Rings are designed for Weaver-style cross-slot bases, and because Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) rails share the same cross-slot geometry, these rings are compatible with both Weaver and Picatinny rails. Always verify your rail's slot spacing before mounting.
What does "Extra High" mean, and do I need that height?
Ring height refers to the distance from the top of the base to the center of the scope tube. Extra High rings are typically used when mounting scopes with large objective lenses (50mm or greater), when additional clearance is needed over a barrel or bolt handle, or when co-witnessing with night-vision equipment. If you're unsure which height is right for your setup, measure your objective bell diameter and check the clearance required above your barrel.
How important is the square recoil key, and how does it differ from standard ring designs?
The square stainless steel recoil key is a key differentiator in the Maxima design. Traditional rings often rely solely on friction or a round recoil lug, which can shift under heavy recoil or damage softer alloy bases over time. The Maxima's square key engages the full width of the base cross-slot, distributing recoil forces evenly and preventing the peening or swaging that can deform bases made from aluminum or other softer materials — making it an excellent choice for magnum calibers and hard-recoiling rifles.
