Thread: Scope mounting - What to do?

If you fit higher scope rings to achieve clearance then you may have to fit a cheek riser to maintain a good cheek weld.

Yep with these medium rings the cheek weld is perfect. But if I go up to a higher ring or Ruger to Weaver Picatinny rail I'll have to fit a cheek riser.
Yeah there is just 1mm clearance between barrel and objective lens so that sounds ok.

Alright going off what you said @woods223 I'm going to lop off 20mm (2cm) of LOP from stock.
If anyone says I shouldn't then please post within the next 5 mins while I get the skill saw up and running.
