Reviews & Ratings for Warne Medium Quick Detach Rings w/Matte Finish 201LM — 16 reviews — Page 1

Four screws per ring, check. Quick-detach with fingers that holds zero, check. Make sure you get a small magnetic level and torque wrench. Even adding that you will spend less than some rings that are no better. This is the sweet spot for good rings. The $30 ones are garbage and the $200 unnecessary. The QD handle pulls out slightly and can then be rotated without loosening (indexing - a good feature) to another position which isn't obvious.

These went on a M1A Scout. Was perfect for the forward mounted scout scope. Tried the low rings first, but scope bell was too big by about 1 RCH so got these mediums for the win! Unlike cheap "QD" rings, the Warne are robust, levers can clocked to whatever works best, and they truly do return to zero when removed and remounted.

The QD feature in nice and works well. Fit the scope perfectly. The vertical mount was a bit tricky compared to horizontal mounts. Was very quick to zero in. Biggest complaint was that one of the screws was extremely difficult to remove, I thought I was going to break the head off the screw, or I was going to break the supplied provided getting it out. It was like this right out of the packaging. Once I did get it removed, I could see nothing wrong with the treads on the screw, but it went back in very tight, and I was fearful of cross threading. After a few times in and out it functioned normally, there must have been shavings or debris on the female side of the threads. Seems for the price that should not happen.

I like the idea I have a quick release scope. On this metal however, I found it difficult to loosen the wingnut quickly. My fear is that should I need to remove my scope quickly that I would not have time to do so.

Replaced the scope on my Marlin .308. The previous mount and scope was from Leupold. As with these, the mounts were the quick detach type, with the secondary tightening levers. The Leupold release levers seemed to loosen after a box or two of shells at the range. My shots seemed to drop almost a foot, until I noticed the side levers were loose causing the mounts to move on the rings. Not good.

So I read the reviews about Warne, and how they don't move. So I bought a set and followed the instructions on how to install, using my torque wrench at the recommended lbs. Unfortunately, two of the screws stripped on the last turn. I never had that happen on my Leupolds, but since they were already on there snug, I thought I would go ahead and take my rifle out to the range. After firing three boxes of 150 grain ammo, the scope never moved, nor the levers. So I'm not sure why the two screws stripped. They're on there snug, so even if I detach the rings, I guess my new scope is stuck with the Warne rings.

Used these QD Warne rings with Warne 2 piece steel base set to mount a 2X7 scope. Quick detach works great to allow use of iron sights or alternative scope. It held zero very closely after remounting. Fit and finish are excellent.

I use Lepold QR rings and bases on all my other guns but they won't work on my Kimber 8400 Montana in 300 WSM. Leupold recommended them! That says a lot about Warne and Leupold. I put them on with Warne bases and will say they are a bit of a pain compared to the standard cradle style mounts, but wants everything is lined up how you want them torque them down. I followed the instructions and sighted my gun in and then removed the scope and shot it again with no issues. People claim that you don't have to worry about taking your scope on and off, but my OCD about making sure my gun shoots where I want won't allow this. I don't care what manufacturer it is always check zero after removing and installing your scope. Bottom line though well made product you can trust!

Used these rings to mount a Nikon 3-9x40 to a CVA Accura Muzzleloader. Removing the optics during the cleaning process relieves the worry of any less than gentle handling. The Quick Detach feature allows the replacement afterwards with confidence of not affecting your setup. Great product. Would recommend these rings for most scope installations.

Great rings, I have them on a Ruger Gunsite Scout .308. With a Burris scout scope. Sighted in and holding to within 1/2 inch of center when removed and reinstalled. Great fit and quality. Bought because of the reviews

Good value for the money. Makes it easy to remove and remount scopes on my rifles. Highly recommended.
Pros: Solid, easy to install
