How close is too close?

[MojoTX]

Thoughts? Paper won’t slide through, but I see light!

IMO, too close for comfort.

if you can bump the stock and it will hit you have a problem.

Watch some slo mo videos on YouTube. That will hit during recoil.

Too close

Yes, you will destroy that scope.....

 

[elkguide]

How is the warranty on that scope?

Don't shoot it.

Definitely didn’t give me a warm and fuzzy... ordering some higher rings.

Cutting it pretty close

Too close, last thing you want is to have doubt!

I think you have your answer, but you at least need to be able to slide a nickel under it.

if you have the ability to lock a rifle down in good sand bags really tight you can see how much a scope moves and how fragile they are.

very carefully pinch the scope and rifle with your fingers so as not to move the x hair on a target. you will be amazed at the amount of movement a slight pinch can cause. after this i guarantee you will never pick up a rifle by the scope again.

Scope on my rifle looks the same. I keep thinking I should get a different scope or rings, but it has never lost zero since I put it on 6+ years ago. Killed several critters and still prints groups like this

If paper won’t slide through it’s too close by a hair or two.

 

[MojoTX]

Nice scope though!! What is the caliber on the attached rifle?

270 Win Barrett Fieldcraft. Those were the DNZ medium rings. Got some Talley high rings coming in. Damn that 56mm objective lol.

Now we got some breathing room. Thanks all for the input

That looks much better. For me, if a thick business card won't slide underneath without any resistance than it is too low.
