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.

Thats what I've done to a couple of rifles over the years.Slightly shorter LOP is better than longer when shooting offhand in my 44+ years experience. If you can't mount your rifle with your eyes shut then open them and be alighned with your sights then you've got work to do.
