LD, I love the rifle and scope but it's obvious you like your scope back a lot further than both myself and handwerk. Here's a picture of handwerks rifle that is damn near identical to yours, but with the same mounts as I run on my model 70's. Appear to be talley lightweight lows (Non extended 930702):
I'm running lows (non extended) on my 338 win mag with the same scope as you guys are running:
