Warne Maxima 2 Piece Base Matte for Weatherby Mark V Magnum (.240 WM Excluded)

The Warne Maxima 2 Piece Base Matte for Weatherby Mark V Magnum is a rock-solid scope mounting solution built to handle the recoil and demands of serious magnum hunting. If you're running a Weatherby Mark V Magnum (.270 WM, .300 WM, or .330 WM) and want a low-profile steel base system that doesn't compromise your sight picture or firearm's ergonomics, this is a straightforward, dependable choice. Warne's Maxima line draws from the proven Weaver design—one of the strongest and most versatile mounting platforms in the industry—giving you compatibility with Warne Maxima QD rings and confidence in the field.

The low-profile profile design is where this base really shines: it keeps your rifle's lines clean and lets you use backup iron sights when your optic comes off. That combination of open-sight accessibility and a compact footprint is harder to find than you'd think, especially on a magnum platform. The full-width recoil slots in both bases work with Warne's ring recoil keys to distribute load across maximum bearing surface—critical for the violent rearward thrust of a magnum cartridge. Installation is straightforward using Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws torqued to 25 in/lbs.

If you're building or upgrading a Weatherby Mark V Magnum rifle and need a base that handles recoil without fuss, integrates with quality quick-detach rings, and respects your irons, the Maxima 2 Piece system delivers.
