Warne Maxima 2-Piece Base Knight Disc Matte
The Warne Maxima 2-Piece Base Knight Disc Matte is a steel scope mount base system built on the proven Weaver design, one of the industry's most reliable and adaptable mounting platforms. These matte-finished bases deliver a clean, low-profile appearance on your rifle while maintaining full functionality and strength. Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle, competition gun, or precision shooter, Warne's Maxima bases give you the foundation to mount quality optics without bulk or unnecessary height.
The two-piece configuration spreads recoil forces across your receiver for stable, repeatable mounting. A full-width recoil slot runs through each base, engineered to work with Warne Maxima QD rings and allow their recoil control keys to achieve maximum bearing surface. This design detail matters when you're running magnum calibers or pushing velocities—it keeps your scope in place shot after shot. The low profile also means you can use your iron sights by looking over the top of the bases without changing your normal shooting position, an advantage when you pair these with Warne's quick-detach ring system.
If you want a no-compromise scope mount base that handles recoil efficiently and works with proven Weaver-compatible rings, the Maxima steel base is a solid, understated choice. Matte finish resists glare and blends with tactical or traditional rifle aesthetics. Built for hunters, shooters, and riflemen who expect their gear to hold zero and stay quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifle will this base fit?
The Maxima 2-Piece Base uses the Weaver dovetail standard, so it will fit any rifle with a Weaver-compatible receiver or base. Confirm your specific rifle platform before purchase to ensure proper fit.
Can I use my iron sights with this mount?
Yes. The low profile of the Maxima base allows you to look over the top of it to access your iron sights, especially when paired with Warne Maxima QD rings. You won't need to shift your shooting position to use both optics and irons.
What rings should I use with this base?
Warne Maxima QD rings are the ideal match and are designed to maximize the recoil slot feature of these bases. Other Weaver-compatible rings will also work, but the Maxima rings optimize the system.
Why does the recoil slot matter?
The full-width recoil slot allows the recoil control keys on Warne rings to sit flush and achieve maximum bearing surface. This spreads recoil forces more evenly, improving stability and zero retention, especially with high-recoil calibers.
