Your problem is not unique. Now you've seen first hand why 60 degree bolt throws are made and liked.

Either choose taller rings to allow some clearance or re-scope with a smaller scope bell size. +1 Skeeter 7MM comments.

i am headed to get a set of low rings tomarrow. .650". should give me enough clearance. a smaller bell would be dificult to find. i have about the smallest available
