The Warne LR-SKEL 1 Inch Extended Skeletonized Scope Mount 20 MOA for MSR is a one-piece skeletonized cantilever mount for 1-inch main tube scopes, machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in matte black. Its defining feature is a built-in 20 MOA of forward cant, which hands the scope back 20 MOA of usable elevation before the turret runs out of travel — the reason to choose it over a flat mount for long-range dialing.
How It Compares
Same mount, different tube size: Warne LR-SKEL 30mm 20 MOA cantilever scope mount and Warne LR-SKEL 34mm 20 MOA cantilever scope mount. If you would rather have quick-detach levers than built-in elevation, the Warne QD X-SKEL 1-inch quick detach cantilever scope mount (QDXSKEL1TW) is the flat quick-detach equivalent.

Ideal For
- Long-range and F-Class shooting where you dial rather than hold, and need every MOA of elevation the scope has
- Practical and service rifle builds on a flat-top Picatinny receiver
- Scopes that run out of elevation before the target does — the 20 MOA cant buys back the difference
- Precision and DMR-style setups needing the scope further forward for correct eye relief
Key Features
- Tube Diameter: 1 inch (25.4 mm) — integral rings, no separate rings needed
- Built-in Cant: 20 MOA of forward elevation cant, so you keep more turret travel for dialing
- Mount: Picatinny rail, extended one-piece cantilever, fixed (not quick-detach)
- Material: Skeletonized 6061-T6 aluminum
- Finish: Matte black
- Origin: Made in USA

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 20 MOA cant on the Warne LR-SKEL actually do?
It tilts the scope forward by 20 MOA relative to the bore. That means the scope starts with roughly 20 MOA of its elevation travel already spent downwards, leaving that much more available for dialing up at distance — useful when a scope runs out of elevation before you run out of range.
What scope tube diameter does the Warne LR-SKEL LRSKEL1TW fit?
The Warne LR-SKEL LRSKEL1TW has integral 1-inch rings, so it fits scopes with a 1-inch main tube only. Warne makes the same mount in 30mm and 34mm.
Is the Warne LR-SKEL quick-detach?
No. The LR-SKEL is a fixed extended cantilever that clamps to the rail and is meant to stay put. For a quick-detach mount in the same range, look at the Warne QD X-SKEL line.
Should I fit a 20 MOA mount if I only shoot to 200 yards?
Usually not. A 20 MOA cant is worth having when you are dialing well beyond your zero and running short of elevation; at shorter ranges it simply uses up downward travel you would rather keep, and a flat mount is the better choice.
