Good to know, check your headspace, welcome to the forum and what is the best gun to shoot a bear in space wearing level 3 plate armour?

How about modifying that front ring/base so it will accommodate your scope? It is not expensive ring and it is aluminum. 10 min with flat Swiss file will accomplish what you want.
Weaver bases with weaver extension rings will work but maybe not with that scope as you will be running into the rear sight since just about anything will be lower then those see through rings. Also no guarantee the hole spacing will match up with Weaver bases as those one piece see through things are low grade.
The rear weaver base will need to be filed to clear the bolt handle on a '96 action. You will need a low swing safety if you plan on hunting with it which also requires grinding of the cocking piece.
To mount a scope on these properly really requires some gunsmithing.
