These guys make a grade A product, and they back it! I paid attention to putting muzzle forward pressure while tightening the rings and the setup is rock solid!
Great. video! I had a heck of a time with the darned recoil piece, and couldn’t figure it out…I was frustrated. The video solved the installation problem immediately…it always helps to put the parts in correctly! Can’t wait to shoot now!
Great rings, I used them to install an Ultradot on a Ruger SRH .44 Magnum with a Weigand rail. The optic eventually ended up getting destroyed from recoil, but the rings held firm - no slip, no rotation.
Why wouldn't you pull back on the rings when installing instead of push forward? If think about how recoil works the force goes backwards, not forwards.
Greetings... As you shoot the firearm, the rifle wants to move back, into your shoulder. The scope want to stay where it is, or potentially slide forward as the gun goes back. By pushing the scope rings forward you're seating them against the front edge of the base, where they would want to slide anyway. Similar to letting your truck/trailer rest against a wheel chock to stop it from wanting to roll once parked... I hope this makes sense. Warne
@@WarneUSA I guess that makes sense. My thought process is the gun recoils rearward abruptly and comes to a stop in the shoulder. Wouldn't the scope recoil in the same direction? If the scope rings are pushed forward, couldn't they possibly move rearwards as the rifle comes to a stop? I would think that the force of the rifle moving rearward during recoil and coming to a stop is greater then the force I can apply pushing forward trying to get back on target. IDK, maybe I am over thinking this. Anyways, thank you for the response.
@@WarneUSA Since you actually keep responding to me, I have one more question if you will indulge me. Could your 30mm scope rings work as a 30mm red dot mount? I need a very low mount for an Aimpoint on a carry handle and was going to pick up a set of the 30mm Maxima rings to attach the Aimpoint to the carry handle rail. Obviously, I am just going to use one ring to mount.
@@irwintorres220 Irwin, I would look at our 213LM rings, you're still going to be about 7/8-1" above peep sight height, but if you can get a cheek/chin weld they should work...
Always go with the scope manufacturer's torque spec. This is because the industry standard used to be 25-inch pounds, but some manufacturers are building lighter scopes with thinner tubes, so the torque values are lower.
Good video. However, I'm having problems with my rings and mounted scope sliding back and forth on the rails. I used the method in your video, but still slides back and forth. Any idea why this is happening?
I'll probably get around to contacting customer support, but I'll mention I'm having the same problem. Leupold Mark 4 carry handle rail insert, rings shift back and forth in the rail until the recoil key contacts the for and end of the slot. Seem like decent rings and I hope I can make them work out.
34mm I need a scope mounting ring for a 34mm tube ,33mm medium base, scope 5-25- 56 saddle Height 16mm or 15mm any suggestion my rifle is Sako A5 (V) win mag
I need help I bought a Vortex Viper HS 2.5 -10x44 and a tag inside the box said " Do not exceed 18 inch/pounds of torque on the ring screws. So do I still go 25 pounds all around or follow what the vortex said ?
Hello Hunter, it is 25-inch pounds for the rings to the base. And as noted, 18-inch pounds for the top screws that tighten around the scope. But always use the scope manufacturers' recommendations.
@@hunterhess884 This was a good question since these do not use traditional caps that sandwich the scope tube. These wrap around like a hose clamp. The bottom screws attach the rings to the base at 25-inch pounds, and the top screws tighten around the tube as per the scope manufacturer's torque specs, in this case, 18-inch pounds. The manufacturer's torque refers to what goes around the scope but not the part that attaches to the base.
Bought a set of 34mm warne rings for my vortex venom.. I have done everything to spec.. twice!!.. scope still slides forward under recoil.. 308win ... 120 bucks down the drain
@@DodgeCwby99 I am really sorry you had problems. Did you toque the bottom screws first? Some people will tighten in a criss-cross pattern out of habit. But that should not be done with these. The bottom screws must be torqued to 25-inch pounds first per instructions. Then, after positioning the scope in the rings for eye relief and leveling, torque the top screws to the scope manufacturer's torque specs.
You should use locktite on bases only. If you use it on rings, it actually lubricates the ring screws which will then register a lower torque reading on your torque wrench than there actually is. The result could be that you wind up putting too much torque on your scope tube.

Do these vertical rings allow you the option of removing the scope if needed without having to re-level and sight in again ?
I'm just curious, Vortex scopes recommend 15-18 inch pounds. These rings recommend 25inch pounds. Which is the preferred?
We recommend that you follow the scope manufacturers torque spec, in this case 18 in/lb
WarneMounts Thank you! I just purchased some of your Maxima rings, and wanted to make sure. The rings are very nice!
What objective size does this particular scope have? And those are low rings correct?
Good video A query, Warne's picatinny rail, is it 20mm or 22mm?

Built like a tank I got sets on two of my guns.
I will replacing the ones on the remaining 6 guns

@@irwintorres220 Yep, overthinking :-) , assuming that the recoil is taken up by the shooter, there is no reverse/forward impulse after firing.

@@WarneUSA done tossed em and went with Arken rings.. half the price and built better uses bigger torx screws

Arken is cheap chinese crap. Warne ir real.@@DodgeCwby99
Warn rings may be good but not for 3 times the money as comparable better rings.... Just my opinion...
Warne rings are like $45.
Where are you buying quality steel rings for $15?
Is there a reason you don't use any loctite on the rings but you do on the base?
You should use locktite on bases only. If you use it on rings, it actually lubricates the ring screws which will then register a lower torque reading on your torque wrench than there actually is. The result could be that you wind up putting too much torque on your scope tube.
Vortex recommends 18 inch pounds on there scopes
Different specs based off of design.
I bought the tactical rings, when I torque to 65lbs the base screw broke. Did I buy a lemon?
Proper installation procedure specifies 5 ugga-duggas of an impact driver.
65 inch lbs is overkill
