Hello,
Just got an Axis 223 and now need to get optics on it. I was thinking of going with this Weaver rail

with these rings

and mounting the Vortex Crossfire II 6-18x44 scope in it.

My questions are will these combo allow the bolt to clear? It seems as if the Axis bolt travels higher than the Rem 700 I'm used to.

Also as far as the scope goes at the price $200ish and at Cabelas (spending points) is there another option to check out?

Thanks in advance for your help.
