Mounting Vortex Crossfire II on Savage Axis

[Girthquake]

I have a Savage Axis XP, in .270win.
Scope -http://www.bullseyelondon.com/vortex-crossfire-ii-4-12x44-rifle-scope-dead-hold-bdc-reticle-cf2-31015.html
Rings - http://www.bullseyelondon.com/leupold-rifleman-detachable-scope-rings-medium-matte-55860.html
Base - http://www.bullseyelondon.com/weaver-savage-axis-and-edge-multi-slot-base-aluminum-black-finish-48347.html
Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for other scope rings looking for some under 50$, also if the base is needed with the axis. I know it has the 2 mounts but I don't know if it'll reach. And I won't be home for another 3 weeks to check. Thanks!

other than the scope that came with axis i had trouble mounting other scopes due to the bases being so far away from each other. Do yourself a favor and get a weaver one peice base, then you have more flexibility to move scope to get proper eye relief.

it says backorder, but mine still came in a few weeks.
