Warne Maxima 2-Piece Steel Weaver-Style Scope Base for Remington 742, 760 & 740 - Matte Black
Warne Scope Mounts
The Warne Maxima 2-piece steel Weaver-style scope base for Remington 7 gives you a rock-solid mounting platform built on one of the most proven designs in rifle optics. If you're setting up a scoped Remington Model 7 or upgrading from factory bases, Warne's Maxima line delivers the strength and versatility shooters have relied on for decades. The steel construction and low-profile design keep your rifle trim and balanced while providing the mechanical integrity that matters in the field.
What sets these bases apart is their thoughtful engineering. The full-width recoil slots running the length of each base give Warne's recoil control keys maximum bearing surface, translating horizontal stress into vertical support rather than shear force on the screws. That means less vibration, better repeatability, and a mount that stays put through hard use. Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws (spec'd at 25 in/lbs of torque) keep everything locked down without any guesswork.
The low profile is practical too. If you run Warne Maxima QD rings on top, you can keep your natural cheek weld and still see over the bases to your backup iron sights. Pop the optic off, and your open sights are fully usable—a real advantage on a compact rifle like the Model 7 where keeping weight and profile in check matters. Steel construction means these bases will outlast the rifle if treated right, with no flex or creep under recoil.

Yes. These Warne Maxima bases are designed specifically for the Remington New Model 7 and use the rifle's factory drilled and tapped receiver holes.
The low-profile design allows your open sights to remain usable when the optic is removed. If you pair these bases with Warne Maxima QD rings, you can also see over the top of the bases to your backup sights without changing your shooting position.
The bases are shipped complete with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws. To mount a scope, you'll need a set of scope rings compatible with the Weaver-style base (such as Warne Maxima QD rings) and a riflescope of your choice.
Warne recommends 25 in/lbs of torque on the T-15 socket cap screws. Use a torque wrench to ensure even clamping pressure and prevent over-tightening, which can damage the base or receiver.
