Performance & Practical Use

The M808/808M base set upgrades your Tikka receiver by converting it into a stable Weaver-compatible rail system. Its steel construction handles recoil well, and the full-width slots help ensure that the recoil control lugs on your rings stay firmly engaged, promoting consistent zero under sustained use. The two-piece design also makes it easier to align your rings correctly during installation without interfering with the bolt or receiver access.

The low profile and matte finish not only give a sleek look but also help reduce unwanted reflections — valuable when hunting or shooting in bright conditions. Whether you pair this base with low, medium, or quick-detach rings, it offers a dependable foundation for your chosen optic.

Best Suited For

✔ Steyr Mannlicher L & LS owners adding quality scope mounts
✔ Shooters who prefer Weaver-style rings for optic flexibility
✔ Field and hunting rifles where durability and low profile are priorities
✔ Users mounting medium to large optics needing solid recoil resistance

User Tips

Confirm Rifle Hole Spacing:
Before ordering, check that your rifle’s hole spacing is .390″ — this base is tailored to that specification.

Proper Torque:
Use a Torx T-15 driver and torque screws to around 25 in-lbs (or per Warne’s guidance) to secure the base without damaging threads.

Clean Contact Surfaces:
Remove grease and debris from the receiver before installation so the base seats fully and won’t shift under recoil.

Pair With Quality Rings:
Choose Weaver-style rings that match your scope tube diameter and desired eye relief — Warne Maxima QD rings offer quick detach options.

Check Eye Relief First:
Loosely mount the rings with the scope first, check eye relief and level before tightening the base screws all the
