Warne 2-Piece Maxima Base Ruger American Rimfire Marlin XT-22 & XT-17 - Matte Black

The Warne 2-Piece Maxima Base Ruger American Rimfire Marlin XT-22 & XT-17 – Matte Black (M825/825M) is a precision scope mounting system designed for shooters who demand reliability and low-profile aesthetics on their rimfire rifles. These steel bases are engineered specifically for the Ruger American Rimfire platform and Marlin's XT-22 and XT-17 rimfire configurations, making them the optimal choice for hunters, competitive shooters, and tactical trainers working with accurate .22 and .17 HMR platforms. Warne Manufacturing's Maxima bases have earned trust across law enforcement and military training communities for their robust construction and field-proven performance.

Built around the industry-standard Weaver design, these two-piece bases offer one of the strongest and most versatile mounting platforms available for rimfire optics. The steel construction provides exceptional rigidity while resisting recoil stress and environmental corrosion, critical for rifles used in adverse conditions. The matte black finish reduces glint and maintains a low-visibility profile essential for field work. The minimal height profile keeps your point of aim close to bore centerline, preserving the ergonomic handling characteristics and sight picture clarity that define effective rimfire shooting. Warne's precision machining ensures repeatable zero retention—a non-negotiable requirement for training, hunting, and competition applications where shot-to-shot consistency matters.

This mounting system benefits precision rimfire competitors, small-game hunters, and instructors who rely on the Ruger American Rimfire or Marlin XT-22/XT-17 platforms. Installation is straightforward, with the two-piece design allowing flexible optic positioning to optimize eye relief and sight alignment for your specific shooting platform. The Weaver standard ensures compatibility with virtually any tactical or hunting scope equipped with standard Weaver rings, giving shooters maximum flexibility when upgrading optics. For anyone seeking a match-grade, field-durable base system that performs reliably in demanding environments, the Warne Maxima base delivers the durability and precision that separates quality gear from compromise.
