I am unsure what type of rifles you have Saylean, but that is a ton of magnification to have mounted that high above your barrel.  You may want to consider swapping that out with another scope with lower magnification, or getting an adjustable stock to get a solid cheek weld and your eye up to the level of the scope.  I would be concerned about eye relief and accuracy and having a solid consistent mount when you bring the rifle up, at anything much higher than that scopes lowest setting.  It may work great for you, that has just been my personal experience.

Forgot to say, it is a kick ass rifle and scope.   :drool:

Tford you have to realize that Saylean has to go for style points because he cant hit the broad side of anything! its sad really.  :chuckle:

 Great looking setup bro. you and John Pon will have to have a shoot out someday.
