[QUOTE="tnek13, post: 1921492, member: 43112"] The height does affect the geometry between the line of sight and the bullet path, however properly input into your ballistic program and you will not have a problem. Before everyone started using dialable turrets it was a common practice to low mount your scope, set a 200 yard zero to effectively set an extended point-blank range so all you did was point and shoot. So, select rings that give you clearance, a good cheek weld, enter the data into your ballistic program, keep the gun level, and make your shot. [/QUOTE]
