Glenn, here's a pic of a roughed-out rib for my new 'Primitive' high wall, shown with a low wall action in the approximate position it will occupy in its final form. The scope is an old 1x-4x Leupold and is one of the shortest around. I hope you can see that it sits plenty far enough to the rear for almost anyone, in fact I've used this setup with the scope ring ahead of the receiver ring on several Winchesters and Martinis with great success. Of course the Ruger action is longer and I can see why it would require a cantilevered mount.
Here's a closeup of the recoil pin installation.
The rib and the rings are both low, almost as low as one could wish, but are they low enough for your new project?
Regards, Joe
