The Warne Maxima Scope Base for Marlin Lever-Action rifles in matte aluminum (Warne part no. A997M) gives Marlin owners a low-profile, firearm-specific base built around one of the strongest and most versatile mounting systems available. Warne modeled the Maxima Aluminum Base on a proven Weaver-style design, keeping the profile sleek so a scope sits closer to the bore for a more natural cheek weld. When paired with Warne Maxima QD Rings, the low profile still lets a shooter use the rifle’s open sights by looking over the top of the base without breaking their normal shooting position. A full-width recoil slot runs through each base, giving the recoil control keys on Warne rings maximum bearing surface to handle heavy-recoiling lever gun cartridges.
