That'll work fine, the Williams base won't interfere.
A more elegant, (and cheaper) option is to simply buy a shorter front sight.
This will make the rifle shoot HIGHER and you can lower the rear sight down closer to the receiver.
The Skinner front sight looks nice, and you can cut it down.
The process is to adjust the rear sight down closer to the receiver, but leave a little lee-way.
Then file the new front sight down until it gets close to centering the target.
Once it's where you want it, clean up the sight to make sure the top is square and even, cold blue the filed area, then use the rear sight to do the final targeting.
