If anyone has hands on experience with one of the prototypes or has addition information please chime in-

I will follow up when I learn more about it. I think it's sounds really interesting... I'm not sure how I feel about them milling out part of the top of the rings. I know other manufacturers do this but it would seem by lessening the surface area it would no longer have the same grip strength as the original design. Just speculation...

I like the fact that their a choice now to keep traditional BUIS as well-

No, I don't believe there will be incline options unfortunately. I think it would be a nice offering... Well, if they'll go to the extent to produce everything in five different odors maybe if enough suggest they would consider it. They even do the... Zombie green for part of their customer base, so who knows.

I'm not for sure though. I'm set to speak with someone else their tomorrow, who has more information on the new mount. I'll double check-

Looks like a great mount. I'll be interested to see them when they hit the market.

Another change I just noticed...

I'm a little skeptical about the slots in the rings but I also just noticed that they did away with the one piece side rail. I know they were trying to shave weight on this one but the new baring surface for gripping looks really small/short.

In the RAMP model, 65 inch/lbs was proper torque for each hex nut but was spread across a much larger surface. I wonder if they beefed up its width or changed how it interfaces with the rail. I kind of wish they left that the way it was. I don't know, maybe it will accommodate uneven or slightly out-of spec rails better.

I love Warne stuff, everything I've used has been rock-solid. Few things I'd like to see...if they are listening. Canted bases, some QD options and put the damn lock-down nuts on the other side where the belong.

These's lots of scope rings, typically used with heavier scopes on harder kicking rifles, that have the same or less clamping area as shown on the skeleton RAMP mount above. I wouldn't worry about this for a second.
