    Dang man that scope sure does sit awfully high. Can you get a decent cheek weld with it up there like that ?

    I thought the same thing. I would have to sit my chin on the stock to get a decent weld.
    I use the Rock River Arms 1 piece mount on mine it raises the centerline of the scope 1 and 5/8" above the flat top. I have to say that is perfect for my eyes.

    Maybe it's just that the picture is zoomed in? it's 3 and 1/4 inch from the top of the stock to the center of the scope. My cheek is against the stock and my ear just touches it when I've got a clear sight picture. Also that's as low as I can the scope before I have the front iron sights in the picture, which just bugs me :P

    Hey if it works for ya that is all that matters. The front sight usually isn't even visible in the scope if it is in the line of sight. I found it hard to believe too when I was told that but it does.
    If it works for you then I would use it. You are the shooter not me or anyone else.

    Nope It's on a riser so I can certainly drop it down. But it's a variable scope and when it was mounted without the riser on 1x the front sight was clearly visible. It very well might not be visible on 4x, if I turn it into a long range gun full time I very well may drop it down just for the best possible fit and I'll find it out. However most of the time it's a 1x for 100 yard and closer gun.

    I dropped the riser out, and I think I'm gonna leave it out. The front sight isn't as bad as I remembered it on 1x, and it's gone on 4x.
