The Warne Maxima 2-Piece Steel Weaver-Style Scope Base for Remington 742, 760 & 740 rifles delivers the strength and reliability you need for dependable scope mounting on these classic Remington platforms. Built on the proven Weaver design, these steel bases combine a low-profile footprint with full functionality—letting you dial in your optic while maintaining proper cheek weld and eye relief, and even preserving your access to iron sights when paired with Warne QD rings.

Steel construction means these bases handle recoil without flex or creep. The full-width recoil slot in each base works with Warne rings' recoil control keys to distribute bearing surface evenly, maximizing the grip between mount and receiver. That's the kind of engineering detail that separates a mount you trust from one that merely fits. Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle or a range gun, you're getting American-made durability engineered by shooters who understand what works in the field.

The two-piece design gives you the flexibility to run your preferred rings and lets you customize your setup without proprietary restrictions. Matte black finish resists glare and blends with modern rifle aesthetics. If you're restoring a 740, 742, or 760 or building a reliable hunting setup on one of these cartridge powerhouses, these bases give you a foundation that won't let you down.
