Also about this topic. Im curious why people buy high and extra high scope rings? When you naturally lean your head down and place your cheek on the rifle stock and open your eyes you want to be looking directly down the center of the scope. With a regular stock without a raised comb or adjustable cheek pad you need the scope sitting as low as possible for that to happen. I have seen many pics of rifle with regular stocks and the scope is sitting way up high. Im not saying that all those people that have their rifles set up like that is wrong. I just wanna know the reason why they do? Im sure there is a reason for it ??? What am I missing here LOL
The Reason why is to change the point om momentum. It is much like a tight rope walker and the long pole he caries. The further that weight is away from the axis the better dampening effect it will have.
