[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2005357, member: 103303"] I have a couple of pre-64's so I know the problem. The occular on my FWT measures 1.7", it sits in a medium DNZ mount and bolt handle clears easily. The other one has a Picatinny rail, and most of the optics I have tried have clearance even with low rings (in the .750-.820 range). If you are concerned with cheek weld, an easy way to address it is to put a shim on your comb, and add a stock pack to hold it in place. I know a lot of guys like to get the scope as low as possible, but through my experience (with Model 70's specifically) I have found preference for a very light cheek weld. By mounting the optic a little higher, it seems my face influences the rifle less, and in recoil the rifle influences my face less, so thats a win win for me. [/QUOTE]
