[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2362173, member: 113623"] In hindsight, I would have gone with a 20MOA rail just because it is free elevation travel for your scope, and I typically do this by default on all my bolt guns. There is not any problem with how you mounted it, and as you mentioned, any lower and the rail will start contacting the bell. As long as you can get comfortably behind it and create a consistent and repeatable cheek weld to assist in preventing a parallax issue, you are fine. Honestly, I think 1/16th of an inch is [I]too[/I] close because I like a little elevation for heat mirage and to be able to mount aftermarket lens caps. I typically mount mine at about .2-.25" but that is more how they ended up as opposed to any kind of goal I had set. Just one man's opinion. [/QUOTE]
