I have a Winchester 770. These were manufactured for a few years in late 60's early 70's. Scope has been mounted and I seem to have run out of room to bring the scope back to see reticle on it when shoulder. This is a hunting rifle, has a Vortex Diamondback HP 4-14, I currently have Talley rings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I may be able to bring the location of the scope further back toward the butt of the rifle?
Insight on Scope location.

can you post a picture of how it appears in the rings? I am guessing this is a long action?

Moved to SCOPES FORUM.
I realize I can move it back roughly 1/4" but I am looking to move it more than that hopefully.

talley has some offset rings you could use. your other option is to change your set up and use a rail and rings.

I didn't use rails for a long time. EGW makes some reasonably priced rails that are good quality.
You beat me to it
Looks as though you could gain a bit of room by reversing your rear base. I'd try that before considering an extension base or rail.
Shortening the length of pull could be an option.
I will that before doing any purchasing.
As in shortening the stock?
It depends on how your rifle fits you.
