When I set up a hunting rifle, in the old days before I started bowhunting, I would have the scope height where when mounting the rifle I was looking directly through it. No fudging or squirming, I could keep both eyes open or squint but the lens would be full and eye relief right on. Sometimes took some messing with the comb on the stock, but usually just the correct low rings.

I have gone through a couple of scope mounts on the AR and still haven't got a high enough set to keep from scrunching my head down to see clearly. I know everyones face is going to be different so no real standard, but what do you guys do to keep from buying a bunch of different mounts? Do most people set their scope up like I'm thinking or do they wiggle into their cheek weld?

Seems like the 3-gun guys would want an instant look through the scope.

As always I appreciate your answers and comments.
