If the rifle is not ultra precious and you intend to keep it, you can file a flat into the top surface of the barrel to let the scope objective seat properly without touching the barrel . I am talking 1 to 2 mm of depth only ,no more! That flat filed surface can be polished and engraved if the rifle was to be used with open sights at a later stage. It is an easy solution for that kind of problem.
