Description

Warne's XSKEL Gen 2 takes everything that made the original X-SKEL a go-to MSR mount and pushes it a step further. It's a one-piece cantilever designed around what Warne calls the "ideal height," setting a 30mm optic at the right elevation and forward position for AR-10 and AR-15 platforms running a Picatinny rail. If you're building something that needs to look as good as it shoots, the red anodized finish gives it real character.

What Sets the XSKEL Gen 2 Apart

The big upgrade over the first-gen SKEL is the extra inch of forward cantilever, giving you over two inches of reach out front. That matters when you're dialing in eye relief on an LPVO or a scope with a big ocular bell, and it also opens up room behind the mount for extras like a 45-degree offset adapter. Warne went with a one-piece side clamp this time around for added strength, and it mates up cleanly with 1913 rails for solid, repeatable contact across the base.

Light Where It Counts, Tough Where It Matters

The body and ring caps are CNC machined from 6061 aluminum and skeletonized to trim weight without giving up rigidity, landing right around 6.7 ounces. Warne reinforces the key points with steel threaded inserts for the cap screws, so you get a lightweight platform that still holds torque the way it should. The cross-bolts are rated at 65 inch-pounds, and this mount carries the same return-to-zero reputation Warne has built over the years.

Built for Real MSR Use

Folks who've run these tend to praise the return-to-zero performance and the overall fit and finish, with the red version drawing extra attention on themed and show builds. It's machined and designed in the USA, works great with Warne's torque hand tools for quick install and removal, and pairs naturally with magnified scopes and low-power variables alike. For anyone wanting a clean, dependable, eye-catching mounting solution on an AR, the XSKEL Gen 2 checks the boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size scope tube does the Warne XSKEL Gen 2 fit?

This model is built specifically for 30mm scope tubes. If you're running a 1-inch or 34mm optic, Warne offers the XSKEL in those sizes as well, so make sure your tube diameter matches before ordering.

Will the XSKEL Gen 2 work on my AR-15 or AR-10?

Yes. It's designed as a one-piece cantilever for modern sporting rifles with a flat-top Picatinny rail, and it sets the optic at Warne's "ideal height" and forward position for AR platforms. The one-piece side clamp mates up cleanly with standard 1913 rails.

Why does this mount have an extended cantilever?

The Gen 2 provides over two inches of forward cantilever, which is an extra inch compared to the original SKEL. That forward reach helps you set proper eye relief on LPVOs and scopes with large ocular ends, and it leaves room behind the mount for accessories like a 45-degree offset adapter.

Does the Warne XSKEL Gen 2 hold its zero?

It carries Warne's well-earned return-to-zero reputation, and that's one of the features users consistently call out. The skeletonized 6061 aluminum body is reinforced with steel threaded inserts and the cross-bolts are rated to 65 inch-pounds, giving you a rigid, repeatable platform.
