Yeah it's no monolithic rail setup and should not be used as such, change the mount, either of the above suggested will work...

Forget that.
From Arms East for 20 bucks more, you can get an American Defense MFG Recon full scope mount, and not worry with rigging rings on top of that riser.

Support companies that give a hoot about us Canadians. LaRue doesn't, ADM does.
Worth it. Alberta Tactical Rifle has the ADM recon for less expensive if I am not mistaken.
Another option that is really good is the Nightforce Unimount. No flip levers, but it is solid, and works.

How about the Burris AR-P.E.P.R.™ Mount?
Looks like it might just work.
Proper Eye Position Ready for combat riflescopes, this mount provides 2" of forward scope positioning on the M-4 and AR-15 platform. Ring bases are milled as a single, tough unit, and ring tops feature Picatinny tops for mounting additional accessories.
1" - Item #410343
30mm - Item #410341
A = 1.0"
B = 1.75"
C = 2.67"
D = 4.17"
E = 2.15"

Why not extra high rings? Am I missing something?
eye relief on most scopes means that to mount them on an AR, they need to bridge the upper/handguard. This is an area with some flex, obviously not where you want a scope. The main solution used now are these goofy goose necked mounts.

I'm going with ARMS#22 high rings until my GG&G FLT mount (some day) arrives. I got them for $40 SHIPPED on the EE!

that looks like it will work. Though I'm a big fan of the American Defense model that F22Raptor suggested. If you "ouched" at the price, the Burris would probably be more economical.
I seems sturdy
I just don't like bridging the stock and the knights rail.
Not entirely level either
Should I keep it like this?
The Falcon eye relief requires that I mount her really far forward
What do you guys think?
Lots of answers not addressing your concerns -
Bridging may stiffen the barrel to receiver mounting ala ruger 10-22 scope mounts drilled to barrel and receiver.
Unitizing both - a good thing probably.
Level problems - if to many clicks - a bad thing.
If you can zero with enough clicks left over - a non issue.
Try it - If it works ------- done deal.

Personally I would not bridge an optic over to a non-freefloated rail system. I would forget that crazy riser/low ring combo and simply go buy a decent one piece mount (LaRue, ADM, KAC etc etc). Not only will it be a better solution for your mounting requirement, it will be more aesthetically pleasing as well.
Richard,
Bridging between the receiver and a non-floated rail is asking for problems. To be blunt, I think its dumb. Not only is it likely to stress the scope and mounting, it may bugger with your accuracy.
Level issues between the two surfaces may introduce a situation where your scope is canted. If this happens (and maybe it isn't all the time with that setup) your rounds will be printing left or right at longer ranges.
If you are planning on using this for SR at 500m like I suspect you are, you will be extremely frustrated with a sub-par mounting solution when rounds are flying beside the 4 foot.
Try it - not good advise. it will likely suck and fail...again just an opinion from someone who has been down that goat path.....
Pony up the cash for the ADM mount. It is the best mount out there (better than the LaRue - and I have one of those too) and will do a proper job without being too expensive or unobtainable like the LaRue's up here.
