Does anyone make extension bases or extra high extension rings for a Leupold dovetail base hole spacing. (.375 rear)

I have this beautiful custom mauser that is a thorn in my side.

The bolt handle hits the rear bell of the scope with high rings. The rear hole spacing is for a leupy mount .375? (not .504).

I decided to get extra high rings and a 50mm scope. Well.. I can't get the scope back far enough now. (Sworo Z3) I fiound Hi extension but not extra high extension rings.

Please don't tell me to fill the holes and replace the handle.

we wouldn't do that to you this close to Christmas...

PM me if you wish and I will tell you about a gunsmith who will make bases if necessary to fit.
He scratch built a set of bases that mimic the double square bridge magnum mausers to the height I needed and then made rings to fit. The man is a genius.

Friend had a 338-06. With the scope adjusted all the way out, it still shot a foot left at 100 yds.
My guy fixed that, and with the scope adjustment centered, it shot less than one inch to the right at one hundred.
