Actually I just double checked and have room to move the level a notch or two out. I guess I could move the ring forward a bit--but then I'll have to start the entire process of leveling and trueing all over. One reason I like American rifle rings is that they apply a better distributed "clamshell" grip instead of the typical up down plates, so you can run the torque a bit higher than with typical rings. I've got clearance from the turret housing too--even if it looks a bit close.
