Chuck,

Fenton Sandlin ought to be able to make you a clamp-on base that will take Weaver rings and allow you just about any height that you want to use. With or without downslope.

If you don't have his number, pm me.

FWIW, I use BKL 1/2 inch riser blocks under their standard ring on one rifle. This provides the tallest set up I have. I don't know how successful you'll be locating BKL products these days, but if you can find the the riser, it'll work with any tip-off style ring.
