[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1065476, member: 68875"] I like my scopes as low as possible to clear the objective bell by a minimum of 1/8", and when I have a comfortable cheek weld. An AR platform has no drop at the comb, so the optics sit a touch higher than a hunting type stock. Same can be said for a tactical type stock. Comfortable and consistent cheek weld helps increase accuracy for me. A few examples: My AR setup (note it is not nearly as high as some would prefer, but it fits me from prone and upright the same) w. Seekins Low (.92") rings for 34mm scope on 1/2" risers (now have a Badger Ordinance 22MOA canted mount that adds 1/2" as well) [URL="http://s642.photobucket.com/user/lancetkenyon13/media/New%2065%20SLR%20Build/20150103_224224_zpsfjzjjuk4.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu142/lancetkenyon13/New%2065%20SLR%20Build/20150103_224224_zpsfjzjjuk4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My 6.5 SLR w.
