The Warne Maxima 1-Piece Scope Base (brand part number M996M) is a purpose-built optic base for the Browning BAR, machined from steel and finished in black matte. Warne cuts the base with a low-profile design that leaves the rifle’s iron sights usable if the optic is ever removed, and gives it full-width, full-depth recoil slots that maximize bearing surface for the recoil key, so the base stays locked in place under repeated heavy recoil. It mounts with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws torqued to 25 in-lb and is machined to accept Weaver-style rings, sold separately.
