Warne XSKEL1TW Gen 2 1-Piece Extended SKEL MSR Mount with Rings – 1 Inch, Picatinny

Overview

Discover the Warne XSKEL1TW Gen 2, a precise 1-piece extended SKEL MSR mount engineered for AR platforms. This updated model adds an extra 1 inch of forward cantilever while preserving Warne’s renowned Return to Zero capability. The rugged yet lightweight design uses a skeletonized body and caps to trim weight without sacrificing strength, and a 1/2" hex nut system to help secure a dependable, repeatable zero.

Why the design matters

• Additional 1 inch forward cantilever for improved eye relief and alignment with longer eyepieces.
• Skeletonized aluminum body and caps reduce weight while maintaining reliability.
• Eight fasteners with steel threaded inserts resist stripping and promote a secure clamp.

The XSKEL is built to position your optic at a practical height on Picatinny rails, balancing sturdiness with a lighter footprint. Its open, skeletonized form helps keep heat and weight down during long sessions, while still accommodating modern, longer optics.

Specs, finishes, and installation tips

• Available in 1 inch, 30 mm, and 34 mm sizes, with matte black, blue, red, or zombie green anodized finishes. Dark Earth and Mil Spec OD Green Cerakote options are also offered for durability and style.
• One-piece clamp design enhanced by 1/2" hex nuts for a solid, repeatable attachment.
• Clear mounting guidance is included: place the scope, snug cap screws, and level the reticle before final torquing to ensure consistency across field use.

In real-world use, this mount is intended for shooters seeking a stable, lighter mounting solution that pairs well with longer eyepieces and a higher eye relief. Its construction emphasizes durability and precision, without promising outcomes beyond careful installation and use.

Who this is for

For AR enthusiasts and precision shooters who want a strong, lightweight mounting option on Picatinny rails, especially when upgrading from shorter mounts or adding longer optics that require more eye relief. The extended cantilever design aims to help you achieve comfortable, repeatable aiming in varied scenarios.
