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

As already suggested, if it's a conern (and it wouldn't concern me) move the scope a tad forward. It appears to already be on the apex point. As long as it doesn't compromise your eye relief. From what I've seen with a lot of photos on the forum a lot of scopes appear to me to be mounted too far back at any rate. Not saying this is the cas wit the OP.
And your eye relief can never be optimum for all situations ie bench shooting, prone, shooting uphill, shooting downhill all can have an effect on distance from eye to ocular that may have been optimum at off hand.

I've got scopes so low I've had to grind the bottom out of the scope caps to get the caps to fit.
