I just purchased a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40. I went to mount it on my 308 AXIS and it's 1/8 of an inch too short for the rings. I tried 2 sets of rings and it's the same thing. My Axis came with 2 piece bases already mounted on the rifle.


Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need to return the scope and get something else? If I do does anyone have any suggestions for a decent scope for around $160
