I have had a Remington 30-06 sitting around for a couple years,and never hunted with it,but I think I will hunt with it some this year..It has the see thru mounts ,and I don't care for them,but I can deal with them.The gun shoots pretty good from the bench..I am thinking about ditching the see thru,and mounting the scope low,but if I do it will put the objective directly behind that big ol ramped up rear sight that Remington uses,and the scope is long tubed,and the objective would be right up on the highest part of the sight..The scope is a 32 mm objective Weaver,and I an estimating that at least 25% of the objective will be blocked..I hunt mostly in the evening,and hate to loose even a little bit of light gathering abillity,I also hate to take the sight off..I have hunted with other rifles with low mounted scopes,and sights,but they did not block the objective near as much...Should I just live with the see thru mount..I don't need to hunt whitetail with a 30-06,and will probably get tired of it ,and switch to something smaller ,but It,and a 243 that I got after deer season last year are the only rifles I have that I have not killed anything with,so I will use them some this year.
