[QUOTE="ObiWanKannoli, post: 2812977, member: 116692"] For a more "modern" setup, my recommendation would be to absolutely start with a 20 moa pic rail that has a recoil lug. From there, quality rings of your choice. As far as height goes, I consider the "low as possible" ideology to be extremely antiquated. Modern rifle setups absolutely allow for more upright, comfortable head positioning. Additionally, more modern optics with larger bells may require it. You need to base your scope height off of the non negotiable items first which are your barrel contour and bell diameter. You'll need to consider how dramatic an angle the tube takes to the maximum od of the bell as well since this will dictate how far back you can pull the scope on the rail for proper eye relief. From there, if you have an adjustable cheek piece I would suggest going to somewhere around a 1.5" height if possible as it is far superior for any sort of positional shooting. Otherwise, if you do not have an adjustable comb you're going to need to figure out where your eyes fall and try to best match that for a comfortable height within the limitatjons of the fore mentioned non negotiable items. Everyone's face structure is different. [/QUOTE]
