Impact action with 20 MOA rail, straight taper barrel. Will a 0 MOA 1.225 one piece mount allow the objective to clear the barrel if the scope has a defender cap? What about with the sunshade and a defender cap?

I have three of those scopes, all with 1.26" rings, mounted on Defiance and Terminus actions with 20MOA rails and a Rim-X with a 30MOA rail and a truck axle barrel. They all clear fine with room for caps.
I'm mounting everything a bit higher. 1.25-1.5 even. HOB is 2.3 for reference. Puts the stock in the shoulder more and head & eyes up. Makes donuts & coffee when you aren't looking...

I would not go with less than a 1.5" mount. Most chassis you will be fighting for head position. Better to be too high and raise the cheek piece a bit than trying to smash face into the stock. Also will be much easier to shoot positional.
