Is this too high?

[nhenry]

I usually mount my scopes pretty low but I had this 20moa and 30mm backcountry set laying around. Cheek weld isn't bad because I use a Triad stock pack, but idk if it looks a little goofy?

What do you all think?

A 1/4" to high for me, just an opinion

IMO scope height should be set with bare stock with no cheek weld add ons. Too high.

It would be too high for my preference.

Looks like all of mine

Thanks

I'm leaning the way of too high as well.

If your cheek pad gets your head up high enough and still gives a consistent cheek weld, it is fine.

Personally, it is too high for my preference.

I'm going to take the scope off and get a pair of Talleys like I originally planned for it

I'd shoot it and see. Depends a bit on recoil for me. Im working on a highpower silhouette rifle where I'll be shooting offhand standing out to 500m and scope is high

My 7rum rides like that... Most of my other scopes are dang near touching the bell to the barrel. I just haven't sprung for a bigger scope for the 7rum; the 4-16x Vortex seems like enough for it.

To me it seems too high. If you shoot it with the pack all the time it might be OK. You are the one shooting the rifle, so it has to fit you,

What ever works for you
I personally would like to get it closer to the barrel

If you have to move your head around to get a clear picture through it, then it's too high.

If not, leave it alone.

What works for some may not work for others.

If it works for you, that is all that matters.
