That setup is way, way, way too high. If you're getting a blacked out look through the scope that is why. There is no way to get a cheek weld with a setup that high even if you're 8' tall without a very tall cheek riser or a tactical style stock with a high comb. Those rings are designed for an AR that has a buffer tube and has no drop at the comb. Putting them on a rifle with a hunting stock just aint gonna work without bringing up the comb with a riser of some sort.
If you really must, shortening a synthetic stock is no biggie just cut her off. Depending on haw short you want it a couple of things may come into play after shortening you will have to reshape the recoil pad to match the new stock contour. This can be done by hand with a good flat file and some sand paper or the process can be sped up with a belt sander. Depending on how short you go you may have to relocate the sling swivel stud forward as well. lastly the areas that the screws secure to may have to be rebiuilt with epoxy if you take that much off. you can easily take off an inch or so without worrying about that last step.
