Ugly Gun Sunday


I'd guess that scope is a good two inches above the original line of sight. But it fit the previous owner pretty well.

Never quite got the concept of see-through scope mounts, myself.

I mean, if your scope fogs up? Get a better scope.

If you need the iron sights for close-in work? Learn to shoot with both eyes open, and oh by the way, buy a better scope. One with lower magnification, a bigger objective lens and a wider field of view.

Otherwise, the dual purpose mounts just make your rifle harder to zero and make you look like a schizophrenic.

AD- One of the fundamentals I learned was that a solid, repeatable cheek/stock "weld" was essential to accuracy. From personal experience, it's hard to get good results when you're lucky if the bottom edge the jaw of is brushing the stock while looking through the scope.
