It does have some influence but it isn't exactly linear.
Example from a 308 175gr match load
100 yard zero and a 1.5" scope height = 39.5 MOA drop at 1000 yards
With a 2.5" scope height and all the rest the same, the drop at 1000 becomes 38.5 MOA
6.5" scope height = 35.25 MOA.
I prefer a tall mount so that my face doesn't touch the stock at all for long range shooting and I always use a bubble level to keep things plumb.
