I took a different route and went with the CASM mount. Mounts very, very solid. Couldn't be happier. In all honesty, you'll need something on your stock to get proper cheek weld by mounting a scope and by doing this, you won't be able to really use your irons anyway.

I can still get a pretty good cheek weld with my Bassett mount - it's not perfect, but certainly adequate for hitting those steel silhouettes out yonder. Plus, it has something of a vintage military look, which was what I was going for. That CASM mount looks good, but it certainly doesn't have that vintage appearance
