Seems to me that you'd want to mount your scope as high up as your cheek weld will allow. Amirite?

For seeing purposes, you'd want it at the height that centers your eye in it's socket so you look straight out through the center of the scope.
If you have an adjustable cheek weld on a precision rifle, it wouldn't matter how low or high it was would it?
Prone is the least natural of all the positions is what makes it hard.
I find it the easiest position.
Getting laid out is the easy part. It’s the getting up that takes a minute or two.I can appreciate a lot of older folks can't get laid out on the ground,
Just bring your right knee up a bit and get your diaphragm off the ground.and a lot of folks struggle with diaphragm strength/endurance when going prone,
Prone is my favorite
If you're shooting in an appropriate positions such your face is "flat" to the target, no matter which position, you'll not have a problem with eye relief or scope height change.
This is kind of related, but I've noticed some competitors shoot with a scope cover on the ocular with a 1/4" hole drilled in it. Does anybody know why?

Not appropriate when prone on a pod.
