Warne® Maxima® Quick Detach Scope Rings – 30mm Tube – Ultra High Height – Matte Black Steel – 216LM

The Warne® Maxima® Quick Detach Scope Rings (216LM) are premium, heavy-duty optical anchors precision-engineered to deliver absolute return-to-zero tracking performance and rapid field modularity. While conventional aluminum mounting rings are prone to stripping thread tracks under hard impact or shifting along weaver bases under harsh magnum recoil pulses—frequently destroying your zero and forcing an unexpected trip back to the bench—this solid-steel masterwork completely shatters those liabilities. This 30mm ultra-high mounting system (656813000852) features Warne's classic vertically split architecture, establishing a virtually indestructible clamping cradle favored by tactical shooters, long-range competition marksmen, and hard-use big-game hunters.

Precision-machined from sintered powdered metallurgy structural steel and treated with a durable, non-reflective matte black industrial finish, the Maxima QD matrix delivers unparalleled strength and thermal consistency. The defining technological cornerstone of this profile is its patented quick-detach lever mechanism. This high-leverage indexing lever system allows operators to mechanically detach their primary magnified optic in mere seconds for rapid storage, weapon cleaning, or to immediately deploy secondary backup iron sights, then re-index the scope straight back onto the rail with a guaranteed return-to-zero tracking block. This robust interface is fortified by a unique **square stainless steel recoil control key** embedded inside the base, ensuring a perfect square fit inside your rail slots that completely eliminates longitudinal shearing movement under violent muzzle brake gases.

The interior structure utilizes Warne’s legendary vertically split interface. This design geometry secures the 30mm scope maintube with an incredibly uniform, 4-screw radial friction lock that wraps the glass with absolute structural authority, preventing longitudinal scope migration without needing to lap the rings. Outfitted with an Ultra High Height profile (0.645 inches from top of rail to bottom of scope tube), these rings are perfectly dimensioned to clear massive 50mm to 56mm objective lenses, clearing high-clearance bolt throws and tall handguard configurations with ease. Designed, tooled, and manufactured in Tualatin, Oregon, this premium steel ring set pairs world-class mechanical dependability with complete tactical versatility.

Includes: (2) Warne Maxima 30mm Ultra High Quick Detach Steel Rings (Matte Black Finish), (1) Solid Stainless Steel Integrated Recoil Control Key, and (1) High-Tensile Torx T-15 Hardware Key.

*Torque & Base Specification Note: These Maxima rings feature universal base geometry designed to interface seamlessly with both Mil-Spec 1913 Picatinny Rails and standard Weaver-style bases. To achieve perfect lockup without pinching the optic tube, always torque the ring cap T-15 screws to exactly 25 in-lbs. The quick-detach side levers are hand-tightened and can be pulled out and rotated to index at any preferred parking angle.

Key Features

Flawless Return-to-Zero Modularity: High-leverage quick-detach indexing levers let you strip the optic off your rail and lock it straight back on with perfect mechanical predictability.
Sintered Forged Steel Construction: Machined powdered steel core provides the immense tensile strength of solid steel while maintaining uniform structural density to shrug off punishing magnum recoil tracks.
Vertically Split Clamping Architecture: Wraps around your 30mm scope tube with a unique 4-screw layout that distributes compression pressure evenly around the maintube, eliminating scope slippage.
Square Stainless Steel Recoil Key: Built-in square alignment key fills the cross-slot completely, handling punishing forward and rearward recoil kinetic energy to protect your rail edges.
Ultra-High Objective Clearance: Custom 0.645" base-to-ring height provides clean clearance for oversized 50mm+ objective lenses on heavy-barreled bolt guns and continuous MSR rail uppers.
Ambidextrous Indexable Levers: Quick-detach lever arms can be pulled outward, disengaged from the internal splines, and re-parked in a streamlined, snag-free orientation facing either forward or back.
