Scope mounting options

With all the hubbub going on with scope manufactures, I am going to leave out the name on the scope in question, besides it really doesn't matter with the problem I need help with.
I'm a sling/prone shooter using a Big Bore Panda action with a machined picatinny rail as part of the receiver and I'm using Leupold QRW rings. I have the front ring in the front slot and the scope pushed as far forward as possible to where the ring contacts the forward edge of the adjustment turrets. The problem is I still need more eye relief. I tried to adjust my stock out at the butt plate, but that increases my length of pull making the rifle uncomfortable to shoot. It's like you are trying to shoot someone else's rifle that is set up for them.
Does anyone have any ideas on options as to how to correct this problem?
Thanks,
Lloyd
 
Perhaps one of these and some lower rings would get the job done.

Boyd,
You hit the nail on the head. The pic rail extension when properly mated to my receiver rail should do the trick.****
Preacher, I'm going to check out those rings now.
Thanks,
Lloyd
 
Preacher,
I went directly to the source and nothing to be found. Do you think it is something discontinued?

Google "extension scope rings" and then click on images. That should keep you busy for a little while. ;)
 
Lloyd,
Click on the link you added and when it opens go to the top line and click on this..
View Detachable Top Mount Rings >> then click on Detachable extension top mount rings..
They should show up......
