Warne HyperLite Picatinny

[Subs]

Has anyone tried these rings out yet? Looking for general feedback after I was advised to steer clear of the Talley Ultralights. I'm buying a Tikka with an included Picatinny rail and these looked promising but I'm not finding any real user reviews anywhere.

Bump - any experience with these?

They are brand new so likely very few have used them to date. I’ve only seen 1x post showing them in a mounting system, it it appeared the ring threads has stripped out…..

I haven’t mounted them yet but I’ll have to look up the thread that @MT_Wyatt is referencing. I use a torque driver on all my installs so hopefully what he describes is a one off.

I actually just came across the thread referenced:

Maven .6 LPVO Newest Newer New Model

Whelp, I'm at a stand still. Before hitting 18inlbs, either the tapped portion or the screws of the Warne Hyperlite rings stripped on 4. The shavings that came out with the screws would make one think we were a machine shop.

Not looking good…

No it’s not. I’ve used the mountain tech rings in the past with good luck. I wonder if I can exchange these with Midway.

I bought two sets, 1 inch lows and 30mm lows.
I would not recommend them.
I had two old sets of TPS rings and wanted to try something lighter.
The one inch rings crimped the tube on my Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 @15 inch pounds.
When I did the same with the Warne Hyperlite 30mm rings on my Trijicon Creedo HX 2.5-15x42 they locked up my adjustment ring, the TPS rings did not do this. I have video but to large to post. Thankfully the tube on the HX was tougher.
I have contacted Warne customer service about replacing the Accupoint.
The two pics of rings are the 30mms.
If anyone wants the vids of the 30mm locking up my HX, I can send them by email.

I love my TPS tings, and wish I'd have bought more. I had the issue mentioned above with the 34mm Hyperlite rings. I had a set installed on a 30mm Maven crs3, and when I took them off I didn't see any marks. I put those 30mm Hyperlite on a tested Nightforce and will see if any issues pop up in the future.

It felt to me like there was a bit of metal stretch in the threads when walking up to 25inlbs on the cap screws.

So I heard back from Warne via Midway customer service, they are where I bought the rings.
Randy says the blue loctite I used is possible the reason??

Man, I hate seeing things like this. I apologize to you and Mr. Tucker for running into this issue.

We'd be happy to investigate this further if Mr Tucker wants to send us his scope and the rings. I would hand them off to our quality & engineering team to have all dimensions checked.

I do notice residue from lock-tite (blue) or some thread-locking solution on several of the screw holes. We recommend "DO NOT USE THREAD-LOCKER COMPOUND" as it will significantly alter the torque values and potentially cause this sort of issue. The thread-locking compound acts like a lubricant and allows the screws to continue to tighten beyond recommended torque values.

Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Thanks,
Randy Parks
