[QUOTE="lynxpilot, post: 1095599, member: 23349"] It's been discussed a little, so yes I did a search. Recently mounted a decent Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 8.5-25x50 to a custom-barreled Weatherby Mk V 338-378 on a B&C stock. The barrel has a brake, and the whole system isn't too bad for recoil, but it definitely has some recoil. I wanted to keep the scope close to the barrel and got rings that have about 20 MOA down and the edge of the end bell at the objective lens has about 1/32" clearance. Anybody had issues with tight scope to barrel clearance on heavier recoil rifles? Would prefer not to slap the scope on the barrel. [/QUOTE]
