Description
The Warne Maxima 222M is a pair of 34mm high scope rings built for folks who want their optic planted and staying put. These are part of Warne's well-regarded Maxima family, machined in the U.S. from precision steel and finished in a clean matte black. If you're running a 34mm tube scope and need that extra clearance for a big objective, these rings give you room to work.
What Sets the Maxima 34mm High Rings Apart
The heart of the design is a square stainless steel recoil control key seated in both the front and rear rings. That key grabs the cross slot of your base and creates a no-slip surface across the whole slot, which means recoil has nowhere to push the rings. It also keeps softer base and rail materials from getting peened or swaged over time. The ring band itself is wider than you'll find on a lot of competing rings, giving you more clamping surface wrapped around the scope tube so the optic holds its zero shot after shot.
Fit and Clearance of the 222M High Rings
These sit in the high position, which clears objective lenses up to 56mm without crowding the barrel. That makes them a solid match for large tactical and long-range glass like a Burris XTR, a Vortex, or similar big-tube scopes. They're designed around Warne bases plus any Weaver cross-slot or Mil-Spec Picatinny base or rail, so they'll drop onto most standard setups.
Mounting the Warne Maxima Fixed Rings
This is a vertically split, fixed design, so it's a permanent attachment to the base rather than a quick-detach setup. Installation is straightforward: four Torx T-15 socket cap screws secure each ring around the scope, and Warne recommends torquing those to 25 inch-pounds. The vertical split keeps the whole process simple when you're leveling and sighting in. For a heavy-recoiling rifle or a hard-use build where you don't plan on pulling the scope often, this kind of setup is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size scope objective will the Warne 34mm high rings clear?
The 222M high rings are built to clear an objective lens up to 56mm. That makes them a good fit for larger tactical and long-range scopes with big front bells. If you're running something smaller, you may be able to drop down to a medium height.
Are these Warne Maxima rings quick-detach?
No, the 222M is a fixed, vertically split design meant for permanent attachment to the base. They're not a QD setup, so they're best suited for builds where you don't plan on pulling the scope often. Warne does make a quick-detach version in the Maxima line if that's what you need.
What bases do the Warne 34mm high fixed rings fit?
They're designed to fit Warne bases along with any Weaver cross-slot or Mil-Spec Picatinny base or rail. The square stainless recoil key seats into the cross slot to lock everything down. Most standard rails will take these without any issue.
How do I install and torque the Warne Maxima 222M rings?
Each ring secures around the scope with four Torx T-15 socket cap screws. Warne recommends torquing the ring cap screws to 25 inch-pounds for a secure hold. Using a quality torque wrench and snugging the screws in an even, crisscross pattern will keep your optic seated properly and holding zero.
