These are heavy rings... Very sturdy. I got the 1 inch high rings to use with a Burris Fullfield IV 2.5-10X42 scope on a Ruger American 450 Bushmaster.That's a stubbier scope so the objective lens is over the rail. The 1" ring gives 3/16s of clearance to the rail.Install is easier IMO. It's a little frustrating keeping the recoil bars in place at first but not having to worry about the uneven gaps on both sides and torque patterns with horizontal rings is worth it.I torqued mine to 20in/lbs. Solid and seems like it more squeezes the scope than clamping it.These fit in the category of "cheap" rings based on price but they aren't the cheap rings everyone advises you to avoid. These are inexpensive, high quality rings. But if you feel you need to spend twice the price of the weapon on optics, these probably aren't for you. If you buy mid-range scopes so each of your rifles can have it's own, only scope a rifle once and leave it there forever... These are for you.

The scope mounts are described as permanent of course this does NOT mean they cannot be removed. This is the second set of Warne scope mounts I am using the first set I found a little fiddly keeping the small stainless key in the bottom of then mounts in place , this time I knew what to expect and had no problem at all . These extra high mounts are on a long range Rifle and will not be removed unless I replace the rifle scope which is vert unlikely. Warne scope mounts are very sturdy and secure mounts I would recommend these to anyone.

Love Warne rings. Have used them several times and have never had any issues with them. Good quality at a reasonable price.

They're a little fiddly to set up initially due to the vertical split instead of the usual horizontal split, but once set up they are quick to put the scope on, and remove it again, and they return to zero. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks by a long shot.Pros:Very SturdyQuick to mount/remove opticsReturn to zero very wellLowest height quick detach rings I could findCons:Vertical split makes it a little more involved to set up on the scope.

Most scope rings has one side that clamps down. That is not an issue when a rail is precision machined AND the base of the ring matches the rail. If the mating of the rail and the ring clamp is less than perfect, most rings end up offset from bore center and has minimal contact with the rail. This often results in insecure scope mount where a bump or heavy recoil can move the POI all over the place.The Warne Maxima rings solve this problem by clamping together as two equal halves. This eliminates the whole problem of bore offset as long as the scope rail aligns with the bore. Furthermore, the clamp of these rings is precision angled and machined. Just hand tightening using a 1/4" bit makes a ring feel secure and not wobbly on a rail (unlike the single sided clamps).Another advantage of the Warne Maxima rings is the overall width is actually very manageable compared to other double screw rings. This is an advantage for short scopes where there is not much tube length to clamp onto.As far as mounting the rings is concerned, here is the method that I use. Mount the ring onto the scope first, just hand tighten using a 1/4" bit. I usually loosely tighten the top of the ring first so that the scope won't "escape". This gives you the flexibility at the base to fit the clamp onto the rail. The bar to fit into Picatinny slots is easy to fall out. I gently squeeze the two halves of the ring while fitting it on a rail so the bar does not drop off. When it is in position, I loosen the squeeze so the clamp opens up enough to fit into the tail. Then I just tighten the base screws to gently hold the whole ring in place.This is harder than with a one-side-clamp design, but it is worth it!It is also important to note that these are steel rings, not aluminum. Despite the compact size, the Warne Maxima rings are heavier than similarly sized aluminum rings. On the other hand, steel is stronger than aluminum. I have stripped aluminum rings using recommended torque settings (20 to 22 lb-in). Not on these rings!I like these rings because of the design, precision machining and choice of material. Being made in the U.S. is icing on the cake. I know I will purchase more Warne Maxima rings in the future for all my scoping needs!

I purchased these rings (and bases..) to mount on a moderately heavy recoiling Weatherby Vanguard. My original intent was to mount the scope with Weaver Quad Lock rings on Redfield bases. I changed my mind and decided to go with the Warne all-steel mounts instead.At first glance, and without doing any research, these mounts are not the easiest to use. Because of the vertical orientation of the split ring, it takes a little more time and effort to install these mounts correctly. That is not to say that it is particularly difficult, just different. For someone who has installed scopes previously in standard design mounts (horizontally split rings..) it takes a little thought to get it right. If you take the time to lightly attach the rings to the scope before mounting to the bases, it all comes together much easier.These rings are machined and finished beautifully. The mating surfaces are smooth and offer plenty of surface area to hold the scope without slipping. The crossbars are machined to tolerance and fit closely into the Warne bases (a good reason to purchase the bases along with the rings..). I have used these mounts previously and have NEVER had a scope shoot loose up to .416 and .458. Properly installed these mounts are bulletproof. One item worth noting is the weight. These mounts are relatively heavy. You would not want to install these on a lightweight mountain rifle...probably. Where these mounts really show their value is on large, heavy recoiling rifles. And on those rifles, weight is not typically an issue.I currently have these mounts on two rifles. One is a custom .378 Wby that can really hurt you with recoil. The other is this Vanguard in .300 Wby. I wanted the extra margin of strength that is present in this mount and the result is rock solid. I don't think you can find a better quality mount even though it does take a little more effort to install correctly.

Great rings. Very heavy duty. Very good quality. These will last a lifetime. Easy to install and adjust. It was nice to see that the hex key to adjust the rings came with them.
