Thanks for the replies everyone. Sorry if I am being confusing and vague. It is not my intentions. Here's the rundown. It started out with me wanting a picatinny rail mounted on my optic. You see my Windrunner I posted is in the process of being turned into a Cheytac M200 Clone. Just like the picture I posted 'as my inspiration'. But since older parts of that sort are hard to come by I started looking for a modern ones of the same style. So I posted this thread here a few weeks ago in the appropriate section to see if anyone could help me find one:

Well as you can see we weren't able to find the part I was looking for, only the Weaver which I bought and installed. I was not at all satisfied with it as it feels poorly made and is a bit small. So I had the idea to design my own. My first rendering was the one I posted that clamps on the optic, but something felt wrong to me about putting it right on the optic, and then I just thought of the 3 ring idea which completely avoids it touching the optic. Which lead me to posting this thread just to gauge feedback on if this was something ever done before or if there would be any downsides.
The gun I posted that looks like a modded AR-15 is completely unrelated to this idea. It was another one of my wacky gun design ideas I had a few years ago. It was actually what inspired my first post on this forum!
https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/seeking-feedback-on-rifle-design.6424576/ I just used it as a referance as I already had it downloaded on my computer in Photoshop.
I don't want it to come off as me testing the water for a "product" or anything. When I say designs I mean just rough ideas I jotted down on paper or screwed around with in Photoshop. I didn't mean to sound overly official. This and all of me other projects if I made them are for purely personal use. I ask a lot of questions on this forum, most of the dumb but it's just because I have always had interests in firearm design and tinkering around with guns. I think it would be cool to start up a little firearm shop but I also thought about that 5 years ago and it never went anywhere. Just a hobbyist for now.
So to summarize, this thread was just me trying to figure out how stupid my 3 ring scope design is. Apparently very, lol. But I guess it has sidetracked into finding a mount for my Windrunner, which I'm perfectly fine with. I have never seen that Spuhr mount before it looks pretty badass. Both the photos you Brian and THEIS posted are essentially the early 2000's 'tacticool' look I am going for. I wanted to go for a real tactical aesthetic on my Windrunner like my M200 reference photo. This is my dream gun and it has a display in my room, I wanted to just kit it up. I likely won't be shooting it often as I heard mixed things about the .408 round.
Along with that Cheytac M200 photo here is another that is serving as inspiration for my build. If you can ID what the hell is going on in this picture you get a cookie. Never seen anything like it.
