Warne 8501De Hyperlite Dark Earth Cerakote Magnafusion Alloy 1" Tube Maxima/Weaver/Picatinny

The Warne 8501De Hyperlite Dark Earth Cerakote Magnafusion Alloy 1" scope rings are built for shooters who refuse to sacrifice strength for weight savings. These medium-height rings pair a proprietary MagnaFusion Alloy with precision CNC machining and durable Cerakote coating, delivering a lightweight mounting solution that works across multiple rail standards—Picatinny, Weaver, and Maxima bases. At 2.58 ounces per pair, they're 35% lighter than conventional aluminum rings, making them ideal for hunters, long-distance shooters, and overlanders who count every ounce on their rifle without compromising the rigid zero-retention your optic demands.

Rock-solid zero retention comes from dual-screw clamp design and an integrated recoil lug engineered to hold true through magnum recoil and harsh field conditions. The rings meet STANAG 4694 specifications, which ensures better return-to-zero performance and rigidity with full-width cross-slot mounts. Cerakote finish resists corrosion, salt spray, and wear—a real advantage if you're hunting coastal regions or in wet climates where standard anodizing can fail.

The dark earth finish is a tactical choice that won't flash in low light and pairs well with modern rifle builds, while the machined design speaks to Warne's USA manufacturing standard. These rings fit 1-inch tubes and work best when paired with full-width cross-slot bases for optimal clamping geometry.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these rings work with my Picatinny or Weaver rail?

Yes. The 8501De is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver rail standards, as well as Maxima bases. For best performance, pair them with full-width cross-slot mounts.

How much weight do these rings save?

Each pair weighs 2.58 ounces and delivers 35% weight reduction compared to traditional aluminum scope rings of the same size.

Will these rings hold zero under recoil?

The integrated recoil lug and dual-screw clamp design are engineered to maintain zero under hard recoil. STANAG 4694 interface compliance also ensures better rigidity and return-to-zero performance when used with compatible bases.

What is the dark earth finish?

The rings are finished in Cerakote dark earth, a durable ceramic coating that resists corrosion, impacts, and wear in harsh outdoor conditions. This finish is also a tactical choice that avoids light reflection.
