Ruger450, where in Wyoming are you?
I am in the Wind River valley.

If you are nearby let me know.

I would agree that the problem is making the choice.
The old claw mounts are cool and classy, but they are not set up for human beings.
The old style claw mounts were designed in the early days when it was thought it was necessary to clear the old style bolt handles and the 3 position wing safeties. Later it was realized the modifying the safety and bolt root was a far batter way to produce the rifles.
If you re-stock the rifle with a high enough comb to give a good cheek weld you will have to cut the stock at the comb nose to clear the bolt when it’s open.
And if you do the stock will look strange even though it would work fine.

Other than removal of the old claw mounts I see no good way to fix this problem. The easiest and the cheapest way is going to be to loose the old mounts.
That answer is a bit painful because the old claw mounts are works of art. Beautifully made, but just not beautifully designed for human shooters. If you have a strong DNA link with a giraffe and have a neck that makes Icabod Crane look stumpy you can use the claw mounts without a problem, but actual humans find them to be best marketed as “One Size Fits No One”
