Have any of you tried or heard about something like this?

Imagine that you soldered part of a scope mount's steel base to the front edge of the receiver's groove. This piece would be approximately 1/2 inch long and of full width. The piece would then be smoothed, blued and made to look almost like a part of the original receiver. The piece acts like a stop for the front scope mount, that is the mount can't slide forwards. (The back mount already has a stop built into the receiver). The 'smith only leaves enough room on the receiver for my Warne mount so it's a snug fit.

What rifle are you fitting the Warnes too?

My gun-smith has recommended that I let him install a low (~1/8 inch) stay/block on the front of the receiver. This will act as a support for the forward Warne ring, which will be mounted behind and flush to the stay, and make the mount more "recoil-proof". He showed me an example and it was very well made and looked good.

The smaller 1x4x20 will stay in its mounts a lot easier than the heavier 3x9's & on the CZ550 the 1x4 probably doesn't need the extra stay in front!
good luck!!
