I recently purchased a custom rifle built on a trued 700 action. It was a really nice buy. The particulars of it are as follows. Keiger #17 heavy contour 8.5” twist rate, haven’t measured the length yet but is 26” or longer, McMillan stock, nf 20moa mount and rings, nf 5-20x56 30mm tube scope illuminated retice, jewel trigger. All this with a 6 br chamber which I will be having recut to a dasher. My question is, it has the extra high 1.375” mounts nf also. Is there anything to gain using these vs trading for a set of medium’s to get the scope closer to the bore? I have to hold my head really high to get behind the scope, it does have an adjustable cheek piece which I can raise to get a good check weld. But then I can’t remove the bolt for cleaning and such without lowering it. New to a dedicated lr style rig any help is appreciated thanks in advance.
