edit to add, I'm scratching my head over how to scope it
connect the factory ring lower half to the slot in the block, tighten the screw, and ... whaddya mean that's not what you meant?
I don't recall having any issues with eye relief requiring extension rings on a #1 though it seems like quite a few people have. A semi heavy barreled single shot isn't the right choice for jumping jackrabbits in the sage so big FOV isn't real necessary.
... I'd go with a Leupold 6.5-20X. It'd be suitable for pretty near anything I'd use that rifle for. Plus it's long enough that if you need to shift it a bit to adjust eye relief, it'll work.
