Shooting vintage rifle with scope

There is a .22 silhouette match I can shoot in but it’s scoped. And I won’t drill holes in the barrels for blocks. Any way around this?

Often you can irons in a scope class, just check the rules. 

Or you can get bpjack to set you up

I did this. I milled a one piece base for a long scope 7.2 " . I use double sided tape. I also take a few turns of vinyl tape adhesive up for safety strap.
