Send it to me and I'll run it on a Model Seven and a Kimber Montana. It'll work just fine.
Mini scope mounting has two drawbacks that you ran into: can't get it low unless you remove the peep sight, and the rear mount base is further forward than on any bolt action. Both work against a short eye relief scope.
Do you have a short-action bolt gun that you can mount it on and take a pic?
It won't matter though,as many will use a one piece mount on top of the rail that will allow a good bit more adjustment. It should be fine as long as it doesn't get in the way of your charging handle,and the smaller eye piece would help there.
I will reserve judgment on whether I can use one or not until I see one in hand. Regardless,more eye relief,even at the penalty of a larger eye piece would have been preferable to me. It would seem that SWFA is continuing in the tradition of giving us ,not what we want at all,but what they believe will work well.
