The Warne QD Extended Skeleton 34mm Cantilever Mount delivers a precision-engineered, lightweight solution for mounting large-objective scopes on flat-top MSRs, combining lightning-fast tool-free removal with legendary Warne return-to-zero accuracy.
- Patent-pending dual QD levers allow fast, tool-free installation and removal
- Skeletonized 6061-T6 aluminum body minimizes weight without sacrificing rigidity
- Steel threaded inserts ensure steel-on-steel contact at every threaded interface
- Extended cantilever design optimizes eye relief for modern long-range scopes
- MSR Ideal Height maintains proper cheek weld on standard flat-top receivers
- Proven return-to-zero performance for consistent accuracy after repeated removal
Who This Is For
This mount is built for serious MSR and AR-platform shooters who run 34mm main-tube scopes and demand a repeatable, no-tool transition between rifles or storage. It's an ideal choice for competitors, hunters, and tactical shooters who can't afford to lose zero every time they break down their kit — and who want every ounce of unnecessary weight eliminated from their build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rail system is this mount compatible with?
The Warne QD Extended Skeleton 34mm mount is designed for MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails, making it fully compatible with virtually all flat-top AR-15, AR-10, and MSR-platform rifles. It is not designed for use with Weaver-style rails or round-top receivers without an appropriate rail riser.
How repeatable is the return-to-zero after removing and remounting?
Warne's dual QD lever system is engineered for consistent, repeatable return-to-zero performance. The steel threaded inserts and precision-machined contact surfaces ensure that the mount indexes to the same position on the rail each time, allowing shooters to remove and reinstall their optic with confidence that zero will be maintained — typically within sub-MOA repeatability under normal conditions.
Is this mount suitable for heavy or large-objective scopes?
Yes. The extended cantilever design of the QDXSKEL is specifically intended to accommodate modern long-range scopes with large objective lenses (50mm and above are common pairings) by pushing the optic forward for proper eye relief. The rigid 6061-T6 aluminum construction and steel-reinforced interfaces provide a stable, flex-free platform even under the recoil of hard-hitting calibers.
