Reply With QuoteSWFA will accept anything for their trade in program. You could probably trade up for a set of lows if you give them a call.
I screwed up and ordered medium rings from SWFA with my scope. I needed lows. I dunno if they will take them back or not. But I was curious what you guys thought. It seems too tall to me. Trying to figure out if they won't take them back if I run it or try to sell something to order a set of lows. Money's tight or it wouldn't be an issue. What do you guys think?

That's definitely my first resort. See what they say. The more I think about it, the more I want it perfect. I think the mediums gotta go.
1ST see if they will take them back
2ND sell them at a slight loss
3RD you can try trading them "you never Know"
4TH just keep them until you can afford low ones " you can still shoot it"
5TH I am going to give you some incentive and rub it in a little.LOL

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
Well played sir. Lol.
Isn't the position of your head on the stock more important than how it looks? How does your eye line up with the eyepiece?
What kind of rings are they?
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
As far as head position it sucks. Too tall. I've been playing with it and it just ain't gonna fly.
They are Burris XTR's.
Dean, I think your the only member of the forum that has to check that your scope is properly free floated

How low can you go!
Just enough room for the cap to float.
Even with lows mine won't sit down like that but it'll be 1/4" lower.
Be honest, Dean. It was the words "over bore" that caught your attention here, right? ;-)1ST see if they will take them back

Well my scope ring issue is frustrating but my sponge camo turned out good enough to break my depression. First timer. Popped my sponge cherry. I like it.
Just a friendly warning, please refrain from using that term, unless you are sending a hideous amount of powder through a small caliber barrel, thank you for your cooperation.

You lost me? Over bore or cherry popping. Lol
Both terms for that matter.

Good job on the camo. I like how you didn't over do the sponge work at all. most of the time with camo simple works and looks best.

Thank you. I didn't want that cluttered, trying too hard look. Lol. I was just imagining some of the stocks you see with the splatter pattern. Real simple, just enough to break up the base color. I am really happy with it. My wife thinks I'm crazy, have had the gun sitting on the coffee table so I can admire it while we watch movies. Lol. I really hope to get a set of rings this week and load up the Bergers when they show up and shoot this weekend.
I think most would agree that from the standpoint of appearance, the lower rings would be more attractive.
I personaly dont think 1/4" will make much difference as for shooting it but thats simply an opinion.
Some shooters actually prefer higher scope heights for long range shooting. 1000 yd record holder Matt Kline being but one of them.
There are also add on cheekrests that some seem to think compliment the appearance of the gun. Make it more tacticle or mean looking i guess.
I also noticed that rail is really high also, that's why I go with the weaver mounts,

The base is a weaver 0 MOA base. It does seem tall but, with the low rings it was just about right. I would run it if it wasn't for the cheek weld issue. I can barely touch the stock with my cheek to be able to see through the scope. I thought about a cheek pad and eventually I wanna change the stock but not right this minute. And if I am gonna spend money on a cheek rest, why not just get the low rings, make it look AND feel better. Gonna call SWFA today and see what they say.
Called SWFA and they will take the rings back. Got the lows on the way and they'll credit me for these. Really nice company to deal with. I ordered a scope and they were back ordered, so they emailed me to let me know. I called them and upgraded to the side focus model and they handled it fast and shipped it that day.
