Scope ring suggestions for Weaver style bases

Yeah, I know Weaver. But here's the problem. I have Weaver bases now but I'm not real fond of them and they sit a bit low.

The rifle came with the bases installed from the factory and I don't really want to spend a lot of money to change the bases. However, I need a base that sits slightly so the scope will be exactly at eye level when I mount the rifle with my eyes closed. You know, the perfect alignment we are all seeking.

Hopefully you can give me some ideas.

If you want the scope to sit higher, just use higher rings. Every ring manufacturer makes Weaver style rings.
