I measure my VX5 2-10X42 ocular at 1.755" and the objective at 2.015". Mine is mounted on a LR 98 Mauser in Talley medium ringmounts and there is plenty of clearance for the bolt and the barrel. So much so that I wonder if low ringmounts might work.
"It is wise, though, to remember above all else: rifle, caliber, scope, and even bullets notwithstanding, the most important feature of successful big game hunting is to put that bullet in the correct place, the first time!" John Jobson
