Warne Maxima 2-Piece Base Matte for Savage Pre-2003 Bolt Action Flat Receiver

The Warne Maxima 2-piece base matte for Savage Pre-2003 bolt action flat receiver is a purpose-built mounting solution for shooters who demand rock-solid optic security without compromise. If you're mounting a scope on a classic Savage action, these bases deliver the kind of steel construction and engineered fit that separates a solid gun from one you can actually trust at distance. The matte finish keeps glare down and blends with practical gear, while the firearm-specific design means no guesswork or careful bedding—they're made to work on your rifle.

What sets the Maxima system apart is attention to the details hunters and precision shooters actually care about. The low-profile design keeps your overall rifle height reasonable and lets you use backup iron sights by looking over the top of the bases if you pair them with Warne Maxima QD rings. That flexibility matters on a rifle you might take from the bench to the field. The recoil slot running the full width of each base gives the recoil control keys on Warne rings maximum bearing surface—that means less movement, tighter groups, and less drift over repeated shooting sessions. Steel construction throughout means these bases absorb punishment without flexing or shifting zero.

Built and designed in the USA, the Maxima system represents the kind of engineering that comes from decades of scope mount experience. For shooters running older Savage pre-2003 flat-receiver actions, this is the mounting solution that treats your rifle with the respect it deserves.
