Warne MSR Extended Skeletonized 30mm Scope Mount - Lightweight & Durable Tactical Optics Mounting Solution

The Warne MSR Extended Skeletonized 30mm scope mount is purpose-built for modern tactical rifles and MSR platforms that demand a lightweight, rock-solid optics solution. This second-generation X-SKEL design combines a skeletonized aluminum construction with the kind of durability and repeatability serious shooters depend on. If you're running a quality optic on an AR, this mount keeps weight down while delivering the rock-steady performance that matters when rounds count.

The extended cantilever design—an additional inch of forward reach compared to standard mounts—solves a real problem: proper eye relief with today's longer eyepieces. That extra forward length lets you mount your scope where it belongs without cramping your shooting position or forcing an awkward cheek weld. The 1-piece clamp design and 1/2" tactical nut attachment create a connection that won't shift once torqued down (65 in/lbs recommended). This is the kind of geometry and engineering that separates a mount you'll trust from one you'll keep adjusting.

Warne engineered the X-SKEL to return to zero reliably, shot after shot. The skeletonized ring bodies and caps trim weight without cutting corners on strength—steel threaded inserts protect against stripped fasteners, and #8 Torx-style hardware ensures consistent, repeatable tightening. The mount sits your optic at the ideal height for MSR ergonomics, so you get a natural sight picture and comfortable handling right out of the box.
