Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Vertical split rings - yay or nay

These are the style I use. They are extremely light, and have yet to have a set fail...

Nay for me.

I've seen more crushed scope tubes from these type rings than any other plus they are much more of a PITA to get level than standard rings.

To me the advantage is the following. While mounting a scope and while tightening the rings the scope stays put. Try that with a set of weavers or similar and you wind up with a canted scope. Loosen screws and repeat.

I use them on my 30-378, 338-378, 378, 416 and 460 Bees and many other rifles. Never ever had an issue!

This is my 375 H&H with them and a Meopta

The Warne versions have worked well for me on a number of rifles. If you read Warne's instructions they are easy enough to mount.

When I used to have a bunch of Win 70s, these are all I used, never once any problem of any sort. Still use them on my three remaining 70s

Absolutely! But therein lies the problem. Some think they are above reading or following directions and then proceed to blame the rings when there is an issue. Warne rings are simple, straightforward and perfectly reliable. Plus, once you take the scope out of the rings, it will look like the ones below: with nary a mark to be found anywhere on the tube.

I find them quite easy to set up. In the past they had become a "go to" and I recommended them to a number of people. My enthusiasm waned when I started running into bad sets. (Too tight, out of round, vertical offset between left/right halves) Maybe the QC is sorted out now.

I will happily take any 1” medium warne premier ring mounts for A Sako-series actions off your hands. I’ve got a couple pair of 30mm waiting for some in kind scopes. I just haven’t found what I want. AV .338 and an AII deluxe in .308 await. I currently use them on my AI .17, AII .243, another AV .338, an M591 .243. Permanents or QD’s would make me plum happy. The maximas wont fit.

I like Talley bases and their split rings, have nothing else on bolt guns. It took a little bit to figure out how to keep scopes level as I tightened the rings.

I only have two sets.. A ‘76 vintage Buehler set on a ‘76 Ruger #3, 22 Hornet. The other is a set of Warne QDs that came with a Kimber Super America 22 Hornet. A bit of a pain in the buttocks to get set up the way I like them.

Buehler and Warne Premier.

I have a set on an old rifle, Redfield's and I hate them. You wan to change the scope and you have to take the scope apart to do it. Did it one time and never again!

I don`t care for them.

Total round count on that stack of schit,wouldn’t account for a slow Thursday morning. Hint……..

Oh, good Lord! Please, take your “Skookum” rigs & just go away!!!

Thank you, don’t understand why you feel the need to insult everyone. Clearly, you have a lot of firearm knowledge to share. I enjoy my”cshit”, suits the hunting I do.

You are sucking the wrong ass and adding to your lady friend’s very WELL founded Insecurities. Hint.

Spent primers remain THE Supreme Tutorial,to the perpetual chagrin of Window Licking CLUELESS Fhuqks the World over. Hint.

Nobody insults you,better than you do,by doing your BEST. Hint………..

Random specs on warne vertical rings:

A pair of vertical warne mounts lower, than even warne mountain tech low rings (7200m)

Even being steel, they are slightly less than 1 oz heavier than mountain techs, but over $100 cheaper.

Warne verticals:
4.30 oz

Warne mountain tech
3.39 oz


If you didn't notice, stick was right on the fkn money.

Is that a quote from Mr. Cape Buffalo?😂

No, the Leupold...
