Mike, I feel your pain.
I put together a .404 on a pre 64 model 70 for a friend. He came over with the same glass as you have there and I told him to return it and find one of the older 1" scopes.
We ended up with a vanilla VX2 1-4x20
I was making mounts for the rifle and the 30mm was just too high for the original stock. With the smaller tube and eye bell, the scope is absolutely on the deck and not far different from the irons.

Good shooting

Tom
