For those interested, Talley still makes 7/8" rings; not shown in the catalog, but available. This allows the use of some great old scopes like Lyman Alaskans and some German brands.

On a similar note, the bases Glenn is trying to duplicate look very much like the old Krieghoff slide-on mount system made for drillings and double rifles. The rings were mounted high and had a sidelever to cam the springy "legs" down on the base. Looked kind of like a bow-legged cowboy from the end-on view. They also had a transverse bolt slot/recoil lug on one base.
