Never had the issue personally. Depends how low your scope is sitting to your barrel, so if it is a issue just get higher rings. Job done! IMO saving those ears is a pro that can't be overlooked! We don't get another set of them.

Now that is a dumb idea!

You will see the end of the barrel/suppressor if your scope has good field of view and/or your barrel is long.

lifting the scope high enough to not see the barrel or suppressor would in most cases make the rifle all but unusable.

Nah mate its a 308, chop it to 16" and suppress with DPT - It will end up shorter.
