Rick's Review of Warne Quick Detach XSKEL Riflescope Mount
I always like to preface reviews by saying I own NF, Vortex, and Trijicon optics. I like quality and know the benefits as I started out years ago with lower quality products. So I speak with experience. Long range shooter here, 300 - 1k+ yards is a typical shoot.
For the guy who doesn't want to read, just buy them! These mounts are rock solid! I've got two Trijicon LPVO's and decided to buy these for each of my AR's. They are American made quality mounts and I haven't had a single issue with them! They're easy to adjust and don't move once you've dropped those levers. Now someone in the reviews complained about the mount not being the right size for their scope and gave the mount a 1 star rating. That's your fault for not researching. Call a company if you don't know. Another review said their mount was rusty. That's too bad. But I'm sure OP will take care of it and that's extremely rare with quality made products.
As far as the two sets I received, the fit and finish were excellent. I always lap a new pair of rings but when I attempted to lap these the material that was removed was almost nil! They were practically perfect. I use Wheeler Eng kits. The rods with the points were touching when I dropped them in these mounts. Perfectly aligned! I build my AR's like the dollar's going to collapse the following week. I don't care to waste my time on something that's going to fail when I need it the most. Also with these being QD you can drop an optic if it gets unusable and keep clearing structures or at distance with BUIS. But w/o a QD you better have some 45 mounts or you're just carrying extra weight with typical sights. If you've got an $800-2,000 optic, why are you using a $70 pair of rings? You'll get a lot more quality when you get to the 150-180 range in my experience. These Warne mounts are next level w/o next level prices. There's a point where you're getting diminished returns. To me, anything above this is that point. If a scope is mounted properly with rings that are made w/ quality material and fasteners, CNC machined, that's all you need for a scope to hold zero and point of aim! You're not getting anything more for $250, 350. It's a mount. It's not a CHF barrel or adjustable trigger. If it's solid, it's doing what any quality mount is going to do! Buy these and be done and move on to the next decision!
