Warne‘s Maxima Steel Base for the Remington 740, 742, and 760 (brand part no. M892/868M) is a two-piece, Weaver-pattern base built from steel for superior strength without sacrificing the low-profile design that keeps a proper cheek weld and eye relief. Paired with Warne QD rings, the low mounting height lets a shooter look over the top of the bases to use open sights without changing shooting position. Each base features a full-width recoil slot, giving Warne ring recoil control keys maximum bearing surface to resist shifting under recoil. Backed by a lifetime warranty and designed and made in the USA, it is a firearm-specific fit measuring 5.65 inches, built specifically for the Remington 740/742/760 platform.
