    Is low to low?

    Fitted new scope on low Tikka Optilock rings, 50mm bell with about 1mm clearance gap. Not so keen to get other rings as I like the straight on the dovetail setup.
    I'm happy to try but what's the senses on being to low?

    Couldn't ask for much better. got clearance and probably good cheek weld to stock.If you can shoulder rifle with eyes closed and scope is alighned with eye when you open then it's perfect for offhand shooting.

    Exactly. As long as the objective bell isn't touching the barrel it doesn't matter. What matters is your eyes alignment with the ocular lens.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Even if it was just touching just give a barrel a quick Wizz with angle grinder!
    I seen a freind do it.

    Is this the same as asking for a friend?
    I've always mounted as close to the barrel as possible. Had to grind the bottom out of scope covers to get them to fit on several rifles.

    Yep did the closed eye thing at full mag in and out and it's a perfect weld. Pretty happy with it. Will sight it soon and enjoy the 6HD for what it is. I do find the reticle quit unique being a "Firedot 4 Fine " and having so much space in the view.

    you are only allowed to do that to a plastic fantastic Tikka in 6.5 crudmore and nothing else -- bloody heathen - do that to a classic early sako Tikka Shultz and Larsen
    Mauser and you may never ever use a bog normally again and it will be guilt and nothing else any one has done - a curse of the blued and walnut will be opon you
