Rifle Shooting With A Scope

[Warp]

Consistency and repeatably is what matters most, in terms of accuracy. I mean, that's what accuracy IS...consistency and reputability.

Do whatever doesn't physically harm you that is the most readily repeatable and consistent.

Just my thoughts.......

You are taking a rifle that was designed as a "scout" type. That is to say is was meant to be a fast handling open sighted rifle or used one with a lower powered forward mounted scope mounted low.

It sounds as if you installed a picatinny rail atop the action(which adds height) and a large objective scope (which adds height) and rings needed for the scope to clear the extended rail(which adds height). When you add this up with the low comb height of a scout rifle the final outcome is a scope that is probably 2" above the bore axis. Bad news for a good cheek weld.

Some options to pick your head up are a Karsten cheek rest, Beartooth comb riser, Accu-Riser spacers or a TrippleK leather comb. These will all be able to be attached to your stock and enable your eye to be properly aligned
with the scope. Hope this helps.

Warp is spot on in the post above!

Another option would be a stock pack. It has straps that attach it to the stock, and comes with spacers to raise the comb as much as you need. I use a Triad Tactical stock pack on my Rem 700 with a B&C Medalist stock. It's an inexpensive, non-marring, and stable way to raise your comb height. Cheers!
