Steel or Aluminum rings does it matter? Putting them on a new 280AI rifle.
I wouldn't say avoid these rings... but definitely avoid over torquing them . I had a brain fart and forgot these bases only get torqued to 25 pounds. Guess who tried to torque them to 65? Totally my fault. These are the Warne Maximas.

Maybe. But I'd be real curious to know if 25 in-lb on those screws is actually enough to hold the rings in place. My gut says probably not.
Just wanted to update this. I contacted Warne to see if I could purchase a new clamp instead of a whole set. I explained what I did and that it was totally my fault. They sent me a clamp for free. Great customer service. I'll definitely be a Warne customer going forward.I wouldn't say avoid these rings... but definitely avoid over torquing them .

I have 3 sets of warn rings and 2 one-piece msr mounts. THe maxima rings have been great for the cost. Hard to beat for made in the usa. Vortex pro rings were the worst ive tried in the same price bracket. Actually cost a little more than the warne maximas. I would have thought it was more than 25inch lbs for those bases too. its been a while since i torqued em. Their MSR mounts are 65in lbs. But thats a bigger base too.Just wanted to update this.
