Checked around on all the big players, nobody seems to make a set of cantilevered rings or mounts lower than 1" for 30mm or 34mm tubes. Just no demand? On most rigs, I can get away with 0.8" for a 56mm objective. Putting an AR-height mount just makes me run out of riser adjustment.
 
Do you really need that much room? I've never run into a situation where I couldn't get the cope forward enough on a bolt. Lowest cantilever I've seen to the best of my memory is around 1.35"

I could pinch two rings closer together near the turret housing and mount it forward, yes, but I'm looking to maintain a wider scope ring distance. More of an aesthetics thing. The Spuhr 4026 and 3026 are both 1.26" for anyone who might be thinking of it.
