I have two of those rifles. On one, I bought a longer scope which solved the problem. On the other, I used a one-piece base and moved the rings closer together. It only took about 1/4". I found that most scopes are only about 1/2" too short to use separate bases, so it is pretty close.

If I remember correctly, the scope needs to be at least 5 and 1/2" long between the two points where it begins to "bell" out in order to fit the regular bases.
