I would also mention that Nightforce has a 5.1" mounting area. The space between bells total. The Murphy base is 4.5" long. So the standard base should be ok.

I would check how long it is with the additional cross slot. Its possible you could run into clearance issues with one of the bells using a longer base. My suggestion for the additional slot is for LONG SCOPES. Your 3.5" of eye relief might mean the scope needs to move back a little. My Scope is 4" of relief so it needs to go forward a tiny bit. The tube as it gets larger towards the Obj bell could hit the front of the base. My clearance issue is with the turret and the front ring.
My best guess is the standard base is probably a better choice for that scope and rings but you can ask Murphy to be sure. I THINK either one will clear the bells but it never hurts to call them.
