I definitely need help as my search hasn't been helpful. I am looking for a picatinny base for a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 long-action, not the magnum action. The one-piece Redfield base mounts the scope too far forward, and the extension rings only bring it back 1/2". The picatinny will let me move the scope further back without cutting the stock.

Does anyone know who makes this base or where I could find one?

Thank you for your time and suggestions.
