How high is too high?

[PhilC]

The scope height argument is so 1980s....
If you are comfortable with it, that is all that matters.

I'm old enough to not care what others "think" about what works for me. If you're comfortable and happy with your combination that's all that matters.

Your scope looks fine to me.

I tend to mount mine as low as possible, but there may be an advantage to having it up higher - especially with a heavy-recoiling rifle.

With the scope mounted higher the buttplate of the rifle would be lower in your shoulder with better contact and your head would still be vertical. With a low scope you either need to raise the rifle in your shoulder, possibly losing some contact, or tilt your head over to see through the scope.

It's all a compromise, and some of it would depend on your specific body shape like the length of your neck.

I'm going with the camp that realizes that scope position is unique for each individual but some practices of scope location can impact ergonomics and cause more effort to shoot accurately. If that is even applicable here.................
