A few thoughts. Note the drop of the stock, because if like mine (1640 6.5x55) and intended for irons it was a challenge to get the scope low enough for my preference. Ended up going old school weaver bases/rings as lowest could engineer (even lower than S&K).

Regarding the LA, spacing wise, didn't have any troubles including with a kahles 4x32 which is on the shorter side. However, I did have trouble with short-eye relief scopes such as that kahles, because the LOP on the rifle is IIRC 14 or 14 1/4" and just can't bring myself to cut the stock, resulting in a long crawl. Have put a leupold 3x20 and now an M8-4x, which have been improvements.
