Voere Over/Under combination guns

Well, I bought the Voere and it has a two leaf folding rear sight. I tried unsuccessfully to sight it in with the open sights. The only way to get any accuracy out of it is going to be to scope it so I am going to need to find scope bases that will fit the grooved top of the receiver. I checked the width of the top and it measures between .471-.475" which is close to 12mm (.472") so I am pretty sure that the internal groove is 11mm wide or .433".
I will need claw type bases to fit this 11mm groove width so does anyone have any suggestions of where to find them other than modifying a set of Burris bases that are only 3/8", .375" wide?
I am open to any and all suggestions but much prefer to buy the correct width bases to begin with.
Thanks

The gun does not carry any importer's marks such as Flaig's of Millvale or any others.
Any ideas as to value and rarity out there?

It appears to me that the Voere relies strictly on the grip of the claw type mount to hold things in place unless there is a special claw mount that has a retaining cross bar incorporated into the mount base.
Input or better yet pictures of a Voere with a scope mounted on it please.
Some are long which gives you more grip and several weaver base notches about 22 dollars some are short with one weaver notch for 9 dollars. Go for the longest one for your 11 mm dove tail length. Then you can mount one of any reflective or halo sights available, they all fit weaver standard base. With this low weight of this type sight it should not move due to shotgun recoil at the 11mm attachment. This way you can use the voere with entirely different sight than the scoped Zoli.
I will give it a try and then maybe keep the Voere although the safety issue with it concerns me the most.
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Altoona gun show a few weeks ago. I sold the Voere a few weeks later at the Gettysburg show and let it go with the scope mount base which you put me onto. It worked like a champ but since I picked up the Zoli in 12 ga./6.5 swede I decided that the Voere had to go. I picked up a night light that will mount to the top of the scope so I plan to give it a try Coyote hunting soon. Thanks for all your help with the Zoli and Voere.
