    Optimal scope height question..

    I'm just finishing up a build I started over a year ago... Savage Target action tuned/trued by Fred, Bartlein barrel med. Palma taper in 6.5 Creedmoor in a Masterclass prone stock. Retirement and a move from Florida to Maine slowed down progress a great deal, now starting to get on with life- and finishing up this gun!
    Mounting a Weaver T-36 on the gun, on a Bench-Source scope base with Kelbly standard height Panda rings... with a resultant height of the objective bell of the scope 3/4" above the barrel.... which I think is too tall.
    The Panda short rings will only bring it down 0.2", leaving me still over a half inch off the barrel. Is that too high? Is there a problem leaving it at the height it is? Is it worth buying a shorter set of rings for only a .2" drop?
    Opinions/advice appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Wes
