[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2364149, member: 93138"] If you shoulder the rifle with your eyes closed, and then open them where is the scope? High, low, or right on relative to your eye. In the old days as low as we could get it was always the plan. However, that was with stocks mostly designed for iron sights and we were unknowingly trying to get the scope in the same sight line. With stocks designed for scopes, as low as possible isn't a good blanket method. The scope wants to be centered on your eye with a natural check-weld. Depending on you, the stock, and your preferred shooting stance (standing, sitting, prone, etc.) as low as possible may be ideal and it could easily be far from ideal. [/QUOTE]
