[QUOTE="DixieFreedom, post: 19356, member: 1891"] A fellow told me he mounted a 30mm loopie on a Farrel base with medium loopie rings and it came out to a 3/8" clearance of the objective lens from the barrel. Is this too excessive? I am new to all of this but you hear everyone preach it so often- Cheek weld! Cheek weld! Cheek weld! Low mount! Low mount! cheek weld! So... shouldn't you shoot for a 1/16th clearance of the scope cap cover from the barrel? So at 3/8" clearance and a wall thickness of the scope cam of an 1/8th I am still a quarter inch off.. Too much aint it??? Thanks you'all [/QUOTE]
