The Ultralight Ruger stock has been discontinued for several years. I got lucky when I asked about getting my second on 24.It was listed on McMillan's website. Dick Davis chimed in and said it was discontinued and had it removed from their website. I got lucky, Rick had one and generously sold it to me.
As for the scope being high it isn't that high at 1.6". The "eyebox" on this tiny scope is large. Combine the 2.5 power with a heavy plex and it is one fast rig for close work.
Unfortunately even with the heavier Ruger rings the scope sits at the same height. Rugers just don't have low rings.
