[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 1421819"] Hunters use low to keep the profile of their rifles manageable. Also you want the rifle completely in your control for shooting in various positions so your cheek is nice and tight to the stock and your have a solid grip with the rifle tight to your shoulder. In Benchrest you want them high so your face isn’t negatively affecting the rifle as it naturally recoils. Additionally, this it would mitigate shooter fatigue. Lastly, this is pure speculation, it could limit mirage?? With the scope being higher the heat can dissipate without being so close to the objective...that’s just me guessing though. [/QUOTE]
