Usually experience tells me if the comb height is fairly low then a lower mounted scope is obviously required but sometimes it might be too low and not quite right with eye alignment where say medium mounts might actually be better or vice versa etc.
I thought TonyB's comments re lock times were very enlightening.

The combined advice from Matthew Gleaves, Gary Chillingworth and TerryD priceless.
