The Warne Gen 2 X-SKEL Cantilever MSR Mount for 1-inch scopes (Warne part no. XSKEL1TW) is a one-piece black anodized mount sized for AR-15 and AR-10 style rifles. The cantilever places the optic at the proper height and forward position on an AR, with more than 2 inches of reach forward. It is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum with a skeletonized body and ring caps to cut weight, and it uses steel hardware and threaded inserts for rigidity. The extra cantilever gives proper eye relief with large eye-box scopes and leaves room behind the mount for accessories like the Warne A645 45-degree red dot mount.
