Unless the rifle has bases integral with the receiver, it's no big deal to place equal-sized shims under both front/rear scope bases, just thick enough to raise the scope the 1/32" or less needed for the flip-up cover's base ring to slide between the scope & the barrel.

Installing a BCS (beer can shim) oughta do it.
