[QUOTE="MFGRVA, post: 1915228, member: 114328"] Agree. I suppose what I meant was that if I close my eyes and shoulder the rifle currently, I'm naturally in line with the scope when I open my eyes, just a bit too close and I need to move my head back a touch to get the proper eye relief. If I raise the scope, say, 5mm, so that I am able to move it forward on the base, would I not then have to alter my cheek weld on the stock in order to remain in line with the scope? (In other words, raise my cheek's position on the comb) I fully understand that were taking very small distances. Maybe so small that the additional height wouldn't really matter? [/QUOTE]
