Warne MSR Extended Skeletonized 30mm Mount Gen 2 - Dark Earth

The Warne MSR Extended Skeletonized 30mm Mount Gen 2 is a lightweight scope mount purpose-built for AR-15 and MSR-platform rifles. If you're running a modern tactical rifle and want to cut weight without compromising zero retention or durability, this is the kind of mount that quietly does its job—precision-machined from 6061 aluminum with a skeletonized body and ring caps that trim roughly a third of the weight from Warne's original design while maintaining the rock-solid performance the brand is known for.

The extended cantilever design—an extra inch forward compared to the standard skeletal mount—solves a real problem: proper eye relief when you're running optics with larger eye boxes, and it opens up space behind the mount for accessories like side-mounted lights or other gear. The one-piece side clamp delivers additional rigidity, and the tactical nut attachment points (dual 1/2 inch) let you secure the mount solidly to your receiver. Warne spec'd this for 65 in/lb of torque, and the fasteners are #8 Torx style with steel threaded inserts—details that matter if you plan to mount and remount without stripping the receiver.

In Dark Earth, the finish blends naturally with modern rifle platforms and doesn't draw attention. The X-SKEL name reflects Warne's R.A.M.P. mount platform DNA, so you're getting proven design principles scaled to a lighter, more agile footprint. This is the kind of gear that works whether you're hitting the range, hunting at distance, or building a duty-grade rifle.
