Warne 202M 1 inch PA High Matte Rings

Warne 202M 1 inch PA High Matte Rings secure a rifle scope with a 25.4 mm (1-inch) main tube to a compatible mounting rail. In addition, these fixed steel rings provide a high mounting position and a matte black finish. However, check the scope and rifle dimensions before installation to ensure adequate clearance.

The Warne Maxima rings feature a vertically split design and a wide clamping band around the scope tube. As a result, the rings provide a substantial contact area to help hold the optic securely. Furthermore, four T-15 Torx screws secure each ring around the scope.

In addition, each ring incorporates a square stainless steel recoil-control key. Consequently, the keys engage the cross-slot base to help resist movement under recoil. Moreover, this design helps protect the mounting base against peening when used with softer materials. Therefore, correct engagement between the rings and the base is important during installation.

Regarding fitment, these high rings accommodate scopes with a 25.4 mm (1-inch) main tube. According to Warne, the rings suit objective lenses up to 52 mm. However, objective diameter alone does not determine clearance. For example, the barrel profile, mounting rail and external scope dimensions also affect the final fit.

Furthermore, these fixed rings attach directly to compatible mounting bases. Specifically, they fit Warne Maxima bases, Weaver-style cross-slot bases and Mil-Spec Picatinny rails. Nevertheless, confirm the rail profile and mounting arrangement before installation, because not every scope and rifle combination provides sufficient clearance.

For installation, Warne specifies a maximum torque of 25 in-lb for the bottom screws identified in its instructions, using dry threads. Therefore, use a suitable torque driver and follow the manufacturer’s fitting procedure. In addition, do not use thread-locking compound where Warne prohibits it. Always follow the scope manufacturer’s torque limits as well, since excessive tightening can damage the scope tube or mounting components.
