[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 798775, member: 9253"] Whether it looks goofy is not the criteria. when YOUR face held comfortably against the stock aligns the scope comfortably in front of your eye with correct eye relief, only then you have the correct scope height. It's too low only if the scope touches rifle other than with the rings when it's fired. It's only too high if you have to break your "cheek weld" to center your eye behind the scope. If you can't match the to your face with available rings you can adjust the height of the comb (top surface) of the stock). Many competition and snipping shooters use adjustable stocks, though they usually add weigth and aren't popular for hunting. The height of scope above the barrel however is just as person as the length of pull of the stock. Anyone who tells you what's correct on the Internet is guessing . They might know what's most common, but it may not be right for you. Once you do pick the height of the scope over the bore be sure to measure it accurately (center line to center line) and use that value for ballistic calculations. The number is an entry in all ballistics programs. Getting it righ matters. [/QUOTE]
