I'm trying to get a scope on my CETME, but the rear sight that's welded onto the receiver is presenting some problems.

Basically what I need is a mount (or rings) that has, at the absolute minimum, 1.5" from the top of the rail to the center of the rings. The scope that's going on there is nothing special, just a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32. A really nice LPVO was out of the budget, and the charging handle arrangement on the CETME means this scope is juuuust about as long as I can put on there an still be able to manipulate the charging handle easily.

The rifle came with a Wilson Combat mount that's a really nice piece, but unfortunately it's just a shade too long for the scope and it wants to clamp down on the angled part of the bell. I'll get a measurement on the maximum length I can have when I run home for lunch here in a bit.

I'd like to stay under $100 for a mount, but I'm a little wary of the $30 mounts on Amazon, unless some of y'all have had good experiences with them.
