Warne Maxima 2-Piece Steel Weaver-Style Scope Base for Browning A-Bolt Rifles

The Warne Maxima 2-Piece Steel Weaver-Style Scope Base for Browning A-Bolt rifles gives you a rock-solid foundation for mounting optics on one of hunting's most iconic bolt-actions. Built around the proven Weaver mounting design—one of the strongest and most versatile systems in the industry—these steel bases deliver the strength you need without unnecessary bulk. The low-profile architecture keeps your rifle looking trim while maintaining full access to iron sights once your scope is removed, a feature that pairs especially well with Warne Maxima QD rings if you like the flexibility to switch between optic and open-sight shooting.

Steel construction and full-width recoil slots in each base ensure maximum bearing surface where Warne's recoil control keys engage, translating to rock-solid lockup that handles the push of magnum rounds and the snap of lighter calibers alike. Installation is straightforward: the bases secure to your A-Bolt with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws at 25 in/lb of torque. If you're building or upgrading a Browning A-Bolt for hunting, long-range shooting, or precision work at the range, these Maxima bases are a no-nonsense choice that won't let you down.

Warne has been manufacturing scope mounts in the USA for decades, and the Maxima line represents their commitment to strength, repeatability, and value. Whether you're running a .270, .308, or any of the A-Bolt's other caliber options, these two-piece steel bases provide the anchor your optic needs.
