Warne 8500De Hyperlite Dark Earth Cerakote 1" Tube Picatinny/Weaver/Maxima

The Warne 8500De Hyperlite Dark Earth Cerakote 1" scope rings deliver serious weight savings without the compromise. Built from Warne's MagnaFusion Alloy, these low-profile rings cut 35% of the weight compared to conventional aluminum while maintaining the rigidity and strength you need for reliable zero retention through hard recoil. At just 2.33 ounces per pair, they're engineered for hunters and shooters who demand lightweight gear without settling for durability—especially valuable if you're building a backcountry rifle or upgrading an existing platform.

The rings feature an integrated recoil lug and dual-screw clamps designed to lock your optic in place shot after shot. Precision CNC machining and Dark Earth Cerakote finish mean these mounts handle field conditions without flinching, whether you're glassing alpine basins in the rain or running your rifle hard at the range. The STANAG 4694 interface improves return-to-zero and adds rigidity at the rail junction—a real advantage if precision matters to your shooting.

What makes these rings truly versatile: they work with both Picatinny and Weaver-style bases, and the Maxima compatibility means you have options when mounting to different platforms. That flexibility, combined with the weight savings and Warne's USA manufacturing standard, makes the 8500De a smart choice for anyone tired of compromise between weight and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these rings work on my rifle's rail?

The 8500De rings are compatible with Picatinny, Weaver, and Maxima rail systems. Check your rifle's rail type—modern tactical rifles and hunting rifles typically use Picatinny or Weaver slots. The rings work best with full-width cross-slot mounts.

How much weight do I actually save?

At 2.33 ounces per pair, the Hyperlite rings weigh 35% less than traditional aluminum scope rings. On a rifle build or upgrade, that difference adds up, especially if you're focused on keeping overall gun weight down for hiking or backcountry hunting.

Will the rings hold zero under recoil?

Yes. The integrated recoil lug and dual-screw clamps are designed to maintain zero under hard recoil. The STANAG 4694 interface also improves rigidity and return-to-zero consistency at the rail connection.

What size tube do these rings fit?

These are 1-inch tube rings. Warne makes the Hyperlite line in 30mm and 34mm tube sizes as well, so verify your scope's tube diameter before ordering.
