I have modified talleys to give me more elevation several times. I always worry that it is going to torque the scope and cause a malfunction. But my favorite .308 has gone through at least 2600 rounds with a trijicon mounted in my modified rings without any issues.
If I ever figure out a good way to jig up dual dovetails I am going to start doing them as well. With the talleys I am just removing metal from the bottom of the front base, the ring mounting gives enough leeway to not bend the scope tube. I am pretty sure that dual dovetails would not work that way.
I have considered removing material from the bottom of the front base on dual dove tails and them mounting them on the gun. Then basically over lapping the rings until they were loose on a scope. I think I could then remove just a few thousanths from the bottom of the ring caps and relap them and minimize any scope torque. I just have never gotten fired up enough to do it.
