Mr. Steele:
Thank you again for your help.
I have been studying pitchers of rifles with these new fangled scopes on them and it seems that the location of the ocular end of the scope varies from being even with the trigger to extending about two inches rearward of the trigger. Most seem to be between one and two inches rearward. In that the stock is largely dimensioned to the trigger, I think that should be a reasonable reference point.
The position you demonstrate is very similar to the scope location Mr. Hughes has on his rifle.
I am thinking that the rings you show would actually be too low for what I have in mind. My rib will be just below the top of the receiver ring. They are good looking rings. Who is the manufacturer of them?
Glenn
