Weaver style base help

I need a Weaver style base to fit on an octagon barrel that is 13/16" across flats. Can someone tell me what to use? Hole pattern is of no consequence since the barrel will have to be drill and tapped for whatever I find.

  I believe Brownells catalog lists Warne's weaver pattern in a "blank" format. Meaning it is just a length of non drilled or radiused steel weaver stock. The gunsmith just cut the length he wants, drills and since you are using it on a flat surface there would be no radius cut. Go look at their online catalog.

  Check the Weaver #63B, for the Marlin 336. It's flat on the bottom, no
  curve.

  Thank you for the thoughts and I had already considered that route, however, I was hoping for a base that might have the octagon bottom profile such as might be used on a traditional muzzle loader rifle. With the 13/16" size most of the bases I have available are much too large.
