Whattya pack for a shim,to align your head with the scope?
You guys crack me up..................
You might be missing a point here, Stick.. Not everybody's built alike.. I have a couple customers who are rather gangly, so to speak, and have to have their scopes mounted high enough to allow them to get a good picture with their cheeks on the stock.
From the looks of those groups above, it appears he can shoot that rather nicely..
Maybe you can get by with super-low rings.. Maybe he can't and has to mount it to accomodate his build..
