The vx2 is a short scope and needs an offset front ring setup,
or as has been mentioned a picitinny base..
That is the most correct answer. The rear base, while it will work like it is, sounds to be installed backwards. An extended ring (Leupy makes them) should have been used one the front instead. That would have given you the clearance to slide the scope without being against the bell and possibly allowed the rear to be turned around so it is not as close to the adjustment knobs. Now sometimes even with using the correct setup the scope is just too short to span the rings properly, a Picatinny rail is then your friend.
