Warne 500M Maxima Horizontal Ring Set - Matte Black Steel, 1" Tube, Low Fixed Mount for Weaver/Picatinny Rails

The Warne 500M Maxima Horizontal Ring Set is a fixed scope ring solution built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability without fuss. These one-inch tube rings mount securely to Weaver and Picatinny rail systems, offering the kind of solid, no-compromise holding power you need whether you're hunting elk at altitude or putting rounds downrange at the bench. Made in Tualatin, Oregon, the Maxima Horizontal rings combine traditional styling with Warne's proven engineering—the kind of straightforward gear that works the same way next season as it does today.

What sets these rings apart is the engineering underneath. Warne machines them from sintered steel, a proprietary process that delivers superior strength and clamping force compared to standard cast rings. Each ring uses four Torx T-15 cap screws (two per clamp) to lock your scope in place, and the design includes permanent recoil keys that engage the base with positive mechanical engagement—no guessing, no slipping. That attention to detail is why Warne backs these rings with a return-to-zero guarantee; if they're installed correctly and something comes loose, Warne makes it right.

The low fixed mount design keeps your scope low and inline with the bore, improving ergonomics and sight picture while maintaining clearance for standard rifle stocks. These rings accept any standard one-inch scope tube and work equally well on AR platforms, traditional bolt actions, or lever guns. They're finished in matte black steel, so they won't catch light or add unnecessary shine in the field.

Installation is straightforward—no special tools beyond a Torx T-15 driver, and the design naturally guides the ring onto your base. Once torqued and locked down, you've got a mount that will hold zero through whatever the season throws at you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these rings work on my AR-15 or other Picatinny rail system?

Yes. The Maxima Horizontal rings are designed to mount on both Weaver and Picatinny style rails, so they'll work on any rifle with either rail type.

What size scope tube do I need?

These are one-inch tube rings. Make sure your scope has a one-inch main tube diameter before ordering.

How do I install these rings?

Installation requires a Torx T-15 driver to secure the four cap screws (two in each clamp). The permanent recoil keys are built into the rings and engage your Weaver or Picatinny base automatically during installation.

What does Warne's return-to-zero guarantee mean?

If your scope loses zero because the rings failed or loosened due to manufacturing defect, Warne will repair or replace the rings. This guarantee assumes proper installation with correct torque on the cap screws.
