The Warne HyperLite 8501M scope rings are crafted from an exclusive MagnaFusion™ Alloy, offering a 35% weight reduction over traditional aluminum scope rings without compromising on strength or stability. These medium-height 1-inch rings are designed for shooters who demand minimal weight without sacrificing performance. A pair of HyperLite rings weighs slightly more than 2½ ounces, making them an ideal choice for hunters and long-range competitors building ultra-light rigs.
Two screws hold the clamps firmly to Weaver or Picatinny rails, and four ring screws provide redundant clamping power to hold scopes immobile. The upper ring halves are slim enough to permit unobstructed view of scope elevation turret index marks, critical for competition shooters adjusting windage and elevation adjustments. The rings wear a weatherproof black matte Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and abrasion in the field.
The locking bar is milled integral with the ring bottom for superior rigidity, while the HyperLite rings utilize the STANAG 4694 interface rather than the MIL-STD1913 Picatinny, but they also fit Picatinny and Weaver mounts, with STANAG 4694 holding tighter tolerances and having better repeatability and rigidity paramount for rifle accuracy. Warne specifies 25 inch-pounds of torque for the HyperLite mount clamp screws, and a maximum of 18 inch-pounds for the ring screws, with proper torque application essential to maintaining return-to-zero after recoil.
