[QUOTE="Revolting Peasant, post: 2714805, member: 101383"] I have done what you are doing due to lack of available supplies over the last years. Scope rings I needed out of stock. Had to use what was on hand if I wanted to shoot. Availability not budget during the great lockdown. It wasn’t ideal but got a rifle up and tinkering. Stock riser that high is tough but can be done. You can start with the old military trick foam pipe insulation and duct tape to get shooting. I prefer regular bolt on Burris signature Z rings with the inserts. One set won’t break the bank. If you use a torque wrench or just be careful tightening them on to the picatinny bases they are very repeatable zero switching them around. Mark or memorize your slots on the rails so you switch to the same spot on the different rifles. Matching set of rifles simplifies things greatly. At one point during Covid, I even used some UTG quick detach rings to get some long range 22 rifles out on the range. Only rings I could get my hands on. It worked surprisingly well. Everybody has to start somewhere. It is a rabbit hole. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
