I really like the low mount. I always strive to get my scopes as close to the bore as possible. Nice work!

It is called a scout mounting. It was popularized by Col. Jeff Cooper and his concept scout rifle. There are (scout) scopes intended specifically for the purpose but for my 392 I just used an intermediate eye relief pistol scope. And unlike breech mounted scopes on the 392, it does not interfere with pumping or over stress the barrel brazing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scout_rifle
Another example, my Marlin 1895SBL with a Burris 2.75X Scout Scope and Warne QR rings for quick reversion to the open sights:
And likewise my .308 Savage with a Vortex Scout Scope, this one variable power and also on Warne QR rings for quick reversion to open sights:

Air Venturi intermount coupled with a compact scope. (Sorry, photo won't load and I don't have the patience to deal with it right now). I never liked having to grip and put force on a scope in order to pump the rifle, and this arrangement solves that problem. NC Star makes a nice compact 9x32 scope that fits well.

Not a scope....
but could work with a scope with an offset mount....
Drilled and tapped some holes in the receiver for the Picatinny rail.... it could be 2 slots longer if needed....

Curious as to how you pump it with a scope on it. I contemplate scoping mine but it seems it would make pumping cumbersome

Before having one, I used to wonder how do you pump it, then I put a Baker mount on and use the scope as a handle.
