    Having a high mounted scope can adversely affect your PBR though. Not an issue for FT shooters who dial their ranges in, but for the hunter or casual shooter it is something to consider.

    to be honest after playing about with the numbers its actual better for the pbr if your scope is a little higher.., up to 7-8yrds its more difficult but after that its a bit flatter with a longer sweetspot between the zeros. i think this is why ft shooters do it

    And having to contort or strain your body shape to get your eye behind an incorrectly mounted scope, will adversely affect every single shot you take .

    I'm slowly fitting adjustable buttpads to all of my rifles, and may be about to take the plunge and attempt an adjustable comb on at least two of them.
