[QUOTE="archeratlrg, post: 2554229, member: 41248"] With your scope mounted higher especially like with the 50mm bells or larger you end up holding your head up higher so you don't have a good cheek weld with your stock and accuracy can and will suffer if your not shooting off a bench. The lower the scope, the better the cheek weld, all things being equal. That's why when itting a stock for a client, I almost always recommend a 40 to 42mm scope bell and no larger. If a person has a real fat or long face, it's not as much of an issue. [/QUOTE]
