Thread: How low is too low, scope/ barrel clearance

As long as the scope has enough room for a business card to slip between all good
You have more than enough Clearance I can see that just looking at the photo

So yes it’s fine but the main thing is it comfortable you want to be able to close your eyes sholder the rifle and when you open your eyes be looking perfectly down the scope
If it’s too low you will be looking over the top if the scope in your natural shooting Position
You want come up and be right there without having to move your head

But the OP said there is not enough room for a business card.
I wouldn't expect much barrel movement that close to the action, so it should be okay, but if it was me I would be taking into consideration how much the scope costs...
