Lower scope rings or adjustable kydex cheek riser?

[Tacit Blue]

Went to a local shop catering in long range, I got everything mounted up but the TPS low in my opinion are too high with a 44mm obj. The owner convinced me to buy a Wilde Built stock pack and place Styrofoam 3/4" rolls ontop of my stock. I actually had to use two of them to obtain a proper sight picture. With the two peices of foam it brings me up a total of a 1". Part of me wants to buy TPS " superlows" which are .820" vs the lows at .920. Not ideal, but it works I suppose. If I ever wanted to upgrade in the future to a 50mm objective he says I should just deal with the TPS " lows" for now.

So the question is should I deal with it or get lower rings? another thought is the kydex cheek riser.

I would use a stock pack, that scope is not to high in my opinion. Not sure you could even get any lower ring's.

I need to do that, just need to find desert tan camo duck tape.

Comes with shims to adjust hight.

I ended up buying a Wilde Built one at the store. It doesn't have shims I have heard great things about the Triad pack tho!

I would get a black hawk cheek rest off of amazon. 20 bucks. good to go. or you can lower the rings, you have plenty of room. personally if it's long range get the cheek rest! you could use the additional MOA mounts

I use low rings with a 50mm scope on a Howa 1500 (EGW 20moa rail) no problem whatsoever with either height of scope/cheek weld interface or with it touching barrel.

Better yet, buy yourself a decent stock and ditch the Hogue. Until then, duct tape and some firm foam will do.

This is actually a 56mm scope objective and still fits.

Thanks man! I love what you did with the HOWA! Yeah, Houge is a pos. Whoever designed that stock made the comb wayy too low. I bet that shoots real nice at Pala.

I can ring the steel pretty good on the targets up to the 675yd. Don't really shoot at the 900yd one much.
I have a Weaver Tactical 4-20x56 mil/mil ffp on it now. Just a great scope. Glass every bit as good as this trij and has resettable zero and the clicks are spot on.

haha! Did you notice the Pacific paper clip on the wall ??? U still there?

Yeah haha. Still there.

[kengotit]

Lower ring my scope is within cm of the barrel
And $15 Allen cheek rest pouch

[SloChicken]

Yeah haha. Still there.

Let me know if you want to get out to Pala sometime if I am not working, I am always interested and usu can use a spotter (have spotting scope, will travel) as most of my friends are 9-5 working stiffs, not like us 12 or 24hr types.
I have a couple other fun LR shooters too (24"LR308, 300winmag bolt, 338winmag), and take them sometimes. Wallet permitting ...

Your rings are pretty low but I think the Larue ones below are lower. I would try those and you still may need a cheek rest.

Stock pack is a great investment.


The Karsten cheek rests that need to be drilled and installed are also great additions. I've used both. Karsten for years on my factory SPS stock. Pack for my nicer B&C stock I didn't feel like drilling into.

But the lower you can get your scope and closer to the bore axis the better. Less angle yu have to over come which creates multiple shooting hurdles.
