Warne Maxlite MSR mount

Warne announces the release of its new MaxLite MSR Scope Mount, a lightweight, budget-oriented optic-mounting solution designed specifically for modern sporting rifles. Properly mounting an optic to any firearm involves using quality gear, and Warne is one of the leading names in optic-mounting hardware. Most of the company’s mounts, because of the precise engineering that goes into Warne products, can be on the pricier side of the economic equation, which might tempt some firearm owners into looking at less expensive, lower-quality options.

With the new MaxLite MSR Scope Mount, however, the same quality for which Warne is known is now present in a mount easily competitive with more entry-level options. The Maxlite is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum, delivering a robust, yet lightweight, platform. Purpose-built for MSR platforms, the mount features rugged construction, puts the optic at a proper height for most rifles, and is designed with a forward cantilever to help shooters achieve correct eye relief when running low-power, variable optics or traditional riflescopes. The MaxLite mount is available in both 1-inch and 30mm tube sizes, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of riflescopes.

“The MaxLite mount was developed to give shooters a dependable, purpose-built MSR mount without the premium price tag,” said Victor Ianciuc - Director of Operations at Warne . “It delivers the core performance and reliability Warne is known for in a streamlined, accessible package.”

The MaxLite MSR Scope Mount is an excellent solution for competition, hunting, recreational shooting and tactical applications. Backed by Warne’s reputation for high-quality, innovative products made in the U.S. and offered at an accessible MSRP of $109.99, the MaxLite brings Warne quality to a more affordable level.
