Yeah, the Crossfire series of scope does not work well on 2 piece bases due to the length of the scope.

I did mount one on an EGW one piece picatinny base, and it worked, but it required that I take a hacksaw to the base and trim some off the front (I think it was 2 sections I had to take off).

Pretty much the norm with the shorter body of the scopes made today. I too had to cut a portion off the front of my EGW base in order to move the scope back far enough for proper eye relief. I also contoured the cut with a sanding drum in my Dremel to give the cut a better look and then touched up the bare aluminum with Birchwood Casey aluminum black.
