Nice choice in equipment. But I agree the scope should be lower. You may want to trim the base to the front of the action and find a set of low rings for it. I've been trying different ring/base options myself trying to get something worked out I like
warne low rings on an egw base with a 50 mm pst is a nice combo. I bought a set for my HS-T but haven't swapped over yet. Just got my FAT wrench today and vortex bubble levels. Hoping to load some rounds and do sight in soon!
