It’s not a height issue, it’s that with the Talley bases and the way the rings attach the scope isn’t long enough.

Talley sold me just the front of the extended base set so that will buy me 1/4” of real estate. I’m hoping that works.

By the way, talley is awesome, if possible I’ll always spend my $$$ with them, they have sent me replacement screws free of charge even when it was My fault I needed new ones, sold me 1/2 sets of rings, answered every one of my emails and been cool about it every time.
