[QUOTE="cycloneshooter, post: 763414, member: 62578"] That's almost exactly what I have installed right now. I have an EGW 20MOA Picatinny rail with WARNE low rings. I agree that both the EGW and WARNE products are very high quality and great buys for the money. I use them on other firearms quite successfully. In this particular case however, the scope still sits too high above the action. I still have around 3/8" of space between bottom of the scope and the top of the barrel. I am pretty well convinced that any slotted rail, 0 or 20 MOA will be too tall for this application. It seems to me all slotted rails add substantial height to the system. My project is a hunting rifle without any type of cheekpiece to improve sight alignment. Trying to avoid adding any bulk to the package. In order to improve my cheek weld and head position, I need to get the scope down as low as possible. Thats why I changed my thoughts to Leupold standard bases. Then I saw their 'LR' 15MOA version and am curious how much taller the rear is than the standard 0MOA version. Wish I could use the EGW rail, just isn't going to work in this case. Thanks for the recommendation anyway. [/QUOTE]
