The first warne product i haven’t liked - Warne 22 Caliber Medium Scope Rings

The rings are a neat design that will fit 11mm and 3/8” rim fire scope rails. They come set for 3/8” and you have to flip over the metal tabs for 11mm (make sure you know what size rail you have). This is where I began to have issues. Using a torque screwdriver to install them to the 25 in lbs listed on the package resulted in the screws pulling right through the metal plate that attaches it to the rail. The bolts just never got tight. I don’t know if there was a heat treatment or if the plates are just soft. My other complaint is the way the top half of the scope ring mounts. They have to snap into the scope because it’s more than a 50% wrap around the scope tube. It did some damage to the finish of my scope. This isn’t such an issue if you get it in the right place the very first time. However, sliding the rings along the scope body seemed to leave a line in the finish where it was digging in as it moved. Ultimately I had to return my set as defective. I’ve had awesome luck with Warne products in the past and this is not typical of their work.
