WARNE WINCHESTER MOD 70 PRE 64 MAG MATTE PICATINNY 2 PIECE BASE
Aluminium bases are fine on a mild-recoiling rifle — put them on a Pre-64 Winchester 70 chambered for real magnum cartridges and they start to show their limits. Warne's Maxima two-piece base is the steel upgrade built specifically for that job, engineered to handle magnum recoil without the flex or wear that eventually costs you zero.
The low-profile design is a genuine functional feature, not just a look — it sits close enough to the receiver that you can still use your iron sights over the top if you ever pull the scope off, without needing to swap mounts or lose your backup sighting option.
Specs:
- Fits: Winchester Model 70 Pre-64, Magnum action, .440" rear hole spacing (also fits Beretta-Mato, Dakota 76/96)
- Material: Solid steel, CNC-machined
- Finish: Matte black
- Configuration: 2-piece
- Slot type: Cross-cut Weaver-pattern, full-width recoil slots
- Screws: 6-48
- Recommended torque: 25 in/lb max, with removable thread-locking compound
The full-width recoil slot in each base is the detail that actually matters under magnum recoil — it gives Warne's ring recoil keys maximum bearing surface, spreading the load properly instead of concentrating stress on a small contact point that can eventually deform or shift.
A genuinely serious, no-compromise base for a serious rifle — built to handle .375 H&H and up without becoming the weak link in your whole setup.
