A slight backstory:
Had a savage MSR 10 long range 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex PST 6-24 50 FFP scope mounted on it with a 20 rail.
Traded that rifle off and bought a Tikka T3X CTR 24" Stainless 6.5.
I missed the bolt gun is the reason for the trade.
Anyhow, I also purchased a Bradley adjustable cheek rest for this rifle as I knew the comb height wasn't going to be enough ahead of time.
My question is, with the Vortex mounted on this rifle, it sit's quite high. Now, granted, I may wind up switching this factory rail, which has no MOA built in, with a 20 moa rail or something in the future, so that will obviously tilt the front down some.
I can get the correct height with the Bradley to where it's comfortable and my alignment looks good down the scope, but the scope still looks like it's sitting high on the rifle. Is there any problem with this that I'm unaware of? I'm wanting to avoid buying new rings if it's not necessary.
I think I've got the Burris Signature XTR's now. Like I said, I can get the right height out of this setup, I simply don't know if the scope riding high on the rifle will cause any issues?
Thanks!
