[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2107588, member: 5219"] I also have been frustrated trying to get the correct cheek weld with a larger objective. If you do try to lower the scope height it can be a real pain finding the right scope ring. Ordering what you think might work can get expensive. If you have a local gunshop they should be able to help you. While I can see the usefulness of a picatinny rail for proper fore and aft placement, they often add the height for a poor cheek weld. IMO, go with a solid mounting system without a rail. My 300 RUM has a 50mm on a model 70. I used the double dovetail Leupold base and rings. The cheek weld is perfect. If you cannot get satisfaction then you will have to go with a cheek riser or perhaps a stock pack like this one [URL unfurl="true"]https://triadtactical.com/triad-stock-pack/[/URL] I have been tempted to add my own material to the cheek piece. Roughing up the area and adding some fiberglass mat and resin to build up the area then sanding down to get the height required for the correct cheek weld is a possibility. Recently I acquired a Nightforce with a 56 mm objective. It just so happened that the rifle also needed a better stock. I ordered the Stocky's M50 which has an interchangeable cheek piece.
