Warne 202M Maxima High 1" Tube Matte Black Steel Rifle Scope Rings for Picatinny/Weaver Rails

Warne Scope Mounts' Maxima High rings for 1" tubes deliver the kind of rock-solid connection your optics need on a hard-recoiling rifle. Built for Picatinny and Weaver rails, these matte black steel rings use four T-15 Torx socket cap screws per ring—double the fasteners of typical fixed mounts in this category—to clamp your scope without shift or slip. Whether you're running a precision bolt gun or a magnum hunting rifle, the Maxima design prioritizes durability and repeatability where it matters most: the mount.

The standout feature is Warne's square stainless steel recoil control key, integrated into both the front and rear rings. Instead of relying on friction alone, this key seats into the Weaver or Picatinny slot to create a positive mechanical stop that handles heavy recoil without peening or swaging softer base materials. The wider ring clamping band—substantially broader than budget alternatives—distributes pressure evenly across the tube, reducing the risk of scope tube deformation and maintaining zero shot after shot.

Finished in a hard, durable DuPont power coat matte black, the 202M rings fit Warne bases and all standard Weaver cross-slot and Mil-Spec Picatinny rails. They're built for hunters, competitive shooters, and anyone who refuses to compromise on scope security when the shot matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these Maxima rings fit my Picatinny or Weaver rail?

Yes. The Warne 202M Maxima rings are designed to fit all standard Weaver cross-slot and Mil-Spec Picatinny-style rails, as well as Warne bases.

What's the difference between four screws and two screws per ring?

The four T-15 Torx socket cap screws (versus two on most budget rings) provide more consistent clamping pressure around the tube, reduce the risk of uneven pressure that can deform scope tubes, and deliver superior holding power under recoil.

What does the recoil control key do?

The square stainless steel recoil key seats into your rail's slot to create a positive mechanical stop that prevents the scope from shifting under heavy recoil. This design also protects softer base materials from swaging or peening.

Are these rings suitable for magnum or high-recoil rifles?

The Maxima design—with four fasteners per ring, wider clamping band, and dual recoil control keys—is engineered to handle heavy recoil reliably.
