Warne Maxima 2-Piece Steel Weaver-Style Scope Base for Remington 700, Howa 1500, Weatherby Vanguard

The Warne Maxima 2-piece steel Weaver-style scope base is built for shooters who demand a rock-solid foundation without compromise. Engineered to fit Remington 700, Howa 1500, and Weatherby Vanguard rifles, this base system combines the proven Weaver mounting standard with a low-profile steel design that won't clutter your rifle's profile. Whether you're setting up a precision hunting rifle, a long-range target gun, or a tactical build, a quality scope base is where accuracy starts—and the Maxima delivers the strength and compatibility hunters and shooters have relied on for decades.

Steel construction means durability that stands up to recoil and field use. The Maxima base features full-width and full-depth recoil slots in each piece, engineered to work seamlessly with Warne Maxima QD rings so the recoil control keys achieve maximum bearing surface for solid lockup. That design detail matters: it keeps your scope aligned shot after shot. Installation is straightforward with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws torqued to 25 in/lbs., and the low-profile footprint means you can still use your rifle's iron sights when the optic is removed—a backup sight option many hunters appreciate in the field.

This is a base system for shooters who understand that mount quality directly affects zero stability and repeatability. Pair it with Warne rings that fit your scope diameter and magnification, and you've got a mounting solution that performs whether you're hunting elk in the high country, working targets at the range, or training on your own property.
