I would use a weaver flat base such as would fit a Marlin 30/30, or a thicker flat base blank, drill an tap 3-4 screw holes. Then add rings, done!

.

I would drill the rail with holes to match the Renegade's rear barrel sight's hole spacing, if none of the rail's issue holes don't line up with the rear sight holes, and maybe D/T a 3rd hole atop the barrel, further aft, at the location of another rail issue hole.

if you knew a "REALLY GOOD" Machinist, I might consider piccatiny rail. But then again a scope on a caplock is like fishing with hand grenades................. OH wait, someone already tried that.
