Warne Maxima 2 Piece Base Matte for Enfield Winchester 70 Style Rifles

The Warne Maxima 2 Piece Base Matte for Winchester 70 style rifles is a steel scope mounting solution built on the proven Weaver-pattern design—one of the most durable and adaptable systems in rifle optics. If you're mounting glass on a Winchester 70, Enfield, or compatible rifle with .860 rear hole spacing, these bases deliver the strength and low-profile fit serious shooters expect without the bulk that gets in the way of your irons.

Built tough means built smart. Warne's Maxima bases feature full-width recoil slots in each piece that work with Warne Maxima QD rings to maximize bearing surface where it matters most—under recoil. That engineering translates to rock-solid zero retention and the confidence that comes with knowing your optic is going nowhere. The low-profile footprint also means you can remove your scope and still use your rifle's iron sights without obstruction, a practical edge for hunters and range shooters who value backup aiming options.

Installation is straightforward: the bases mount with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws secured to 25 in/lb of torque. Matte finish matches the aesthetic of most rifles and resists glare, keeping you focused on the task at hand rather than reflections.

What rings work with these bases?

Warne Maxima QD rings are designed to pair with these bases and take full advantage of the recoil slot design. The rings engage the full-width recoil slots for maximum bearing surface.
