How far off the stock do you have to lift your head to look through that scope?


Not too far. Cheek hits stock just below the corner of my mouth. I can get a good weld. Works for me. Shot lots Of critters with this old rifle. Last was a nilgai cow, weekend before Christmas last. At about 50 yds. She was moving at a good trot.

Postscript. Had an old Redfield low profile 2x7 widefield on the rifle when I shot nilgai.

Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
