The Warne Maxima 2-Piece Base (brand part number M902903M) is a Weaver-style scope base built specifically for the Winchester Model 70 chambered in a WSSM cartridge. Warne machines the base with full width and depth recoil slots that maximize bearing surface for the recoil key, keeping the mount locked in place under a hard-kicking short magnum round. The low-profile design still allows use of iron sights when the optic is removed, and the base secures to the action with Torx-style T-15 socket cap screws torqued to 25 in/lb for a solid, repeatable mount.
