Warne 501M Maxima Horizontal Ring Set - Matte Black Steel, 1" Tube, Medium Fixed for Weaver/Picatinny Mounts

The Warne 501M Maxima Horizontal Ring Set brings proven American engineering to your rifle scope mounting. These matte black steel rings are built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability without compromise—designed and manufactured in Tualatin, Oregon, they combine traditional aesthetics with modern precision. The 1-inch tube size fits a wide range of hunting and target scopes, while the medium fixed design pairs seamlessly with both Weaver and Picatinny rail systems on your rifle.

What sets the Maxima Horizontal apart is the attention to real-world holding strength. Each ring uses four Torx T-15 cap screws—two per clamp—and integrates square, permanently installed recoil keys that lock the rings to your base with positive engagement. That means no shifting, no slippage, no surprises downrange. Warne backs these rings with a return-to-zero guarantee, so if you remove and remount your scope, you'll come back to your point of impact. The sintered steel construction is CNC-machined for superior strength and consistent clamping pressure across the tube.

The STANAG 4694 interface improves both rigidity and zero retention—a feature typically found on premium tactical mounts but here delivered on a classic horizontal ring design. Whether you're mounting a hunting scope for elk season, a varmint scope for precision shooting, or a general-purpose optic for the range, the 501M gives you the clamping security and precision fit that turns a good rifle into a reliably accurate one. Installation is straightforward, and the traditional lines complement any rifle aesthetic.

The Warne 501M Maxima Horizontal rings mount to both Weaver and Picatinny rail systems, making them compatible with most modern rifle platforms including AR-15s, bolt-action hunting rifles, and tactical systems that use either standard.

Will my scope stay zeroed if I remove and remount it?

Yes. Warne backs the 501M with a return-to-zero guarantee. The square recoil keys and STANAG 4694 interface work together to ensure consistent engagement, so your point of aim should return when you remount your scope.

What's included in the ring set?

The 501M is a complete ring set for one scope, including both the top and bottom ring clamps, the four Torx cap screws, and the permanently installed recoil keys. You'll need a Weaver or Picatinny base on your rifle to mount them.

What caliber or rifle type are these rings designed for?

The Maxima Horizontal rings are caliber-agnostic. The medium fixed design and 1-inch tube size make them suitable for a wide range of hunting and target rifles. Their holding strength and recoil management benefit everything from centerfire hunting rifles to precision .22 setups.
