I’ve recently purchased a Winchester Model 70 Supergrade .270W and the gun shop fitted Leupold 2 piece scope bases and rings for the Vx-3i 3.5-10x40 scope I bought and the rear base block extends forward of the rear receiver ring and hanging in mid-air so to speak with the scope ring above that, is that normal? 
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with two piece Leupold scope bases for the Model 70 and knew of a version that mounted directly on the rear receiver ring without any overhang forward over the open action space.
