Savage Stevens 200, long action.
Nikon Prostaff scope.
Cheap two piece mounts I bought off of Amazon.

Look much like many other two piece mounts I see for this gun.
Weaver rings from Walmart.
The scope doesn't fit. The tube, the 1 inch part, is too short. I have the mounts installed the right way so that the cross slots are as close together as possible. Soon as I put the mounts on I figured this would be a problem, but I bought the rings anyway just to make sure.
So I don't know much (anything) about scopes. I grabbed another scope I have from an air rifle, and the length of the tube is the same. I'm assuming there is some sort of standard to how long these things are supposed to be?
I know I could do a one piece mount, but it seems to me like that would interfere with the bolt/loading of the gun.
Do I need different bases or different rings? Yeah, I know, I should spend a bit more on these things, but it's a cheap gun, cheap scope, I'd rather not spend too much on the mounts if I don't have to. Just don't want to throw money at something without knowing if it's going to fix it.
