Any pictures of a scoped Chapuis?

I've been thinking about scoping my Chapuis 9.3x74 with a Leupold 1.5-5, but can't find any mention of bases and rings of any type from the usual sources, plus eye relief will be a challenge. I'm thinking of making a base and using Warne QD rings. Surely someone else has done this. Pictures?

Dale Nygard has the Chapuis factory rings and bases, although sometimes they take a little light gunsmithing to put on.

MAK makes a swing off that you install just by removing the factory blocks from the rib. You can install it yourself. Contact them via email and tell them which scope you wish to use and they will tell you which mount you need. They require various heights because of various Objective lense size. I replaced the blocks in mine with blocks cut to fit Ruger rings and they worked perfectly. Not a big problem as the rib comes with factory removable blocks. There are pics on another post of my Merkel (the thread is 'Rottweill' in double rifles) with MAK mounts that I installed in less than a half hour although they have a front dovetail from the factory. The MAK mounts were about $500 and delivery was less than a week.
