That is why I do not like extended scope bases. I have never personally had the need of moving my scopes further away. It has always been the opposite for me. Perhaps if I shot prone it might matter?

It seems that all of EGW bases are the extended type. I have been using the Warne bases since they are not extended. Low rings, even with 50mm scopes work OK for me. Like suggested, you can cut off the overhang or go with another non-extended base, and you will be OK.
