[QUOTE="JMack, post: 2107054, member: 100587"] One of my rifles I can’t get consistent cheek weld and I’m realizing the scope seems a bit high. Pull gun up (empty and pointed in a safe direction) mount stock with eyes closed open eyes and I’m lower than the scope. I’m using a picatinny rail and nightforce medium rings 4screw and the scope is an x5i so 50mm. The bell of the scope isn’t all that high off the barrel, maybe 1/4” maybe a tad more. I feel like I need to come down that much to get a good sight picture. I don’t know that the nightforce low rings will get me enough. I guess my options are to get a stock pad to raise my head or try a different ring. I had some talleys on the rifle but they came loose on me (300 rum) and I got weird about trusting them. Any suggestions? thanks Jmack [/QUOTE]
