Roger,
I grew up with the low comb M-70 with irons, then along came Weaver and we all mounted scopes on them and never looked back...

This phenomenom is only in the mind of custom stock makers and folks that have accepted that therory I think, because all my rifles are built for irons and they all have low power scopes in Talley R&Bs...My head does not flop in the wind when I shoot a scope, but then perhaps I just don't know any better, but for that I am gratefull... I merely lift my eye level about a quarter of an inch and it does not effect my shooting at all...All the gun nuts that shoot my rifles scoped never even realize it has a low comb...the opposite is not true however with a rifle stocked for scope one cannot get down on the irons unless they are built up extremely high in which case the interfere with the scope in most cases and look like crap...

Add to the above that I would not want a dangerous game rifle that could not be readily adapted to iron sights, so that is my solution to the problem that really never existed in the first place with me....

I would bet money with any honest man that if he fired a group with a scope stocked rifle and a scope sighted low comb gun off hand at 100 yards and over a bench at 200 yards that he would not notice any difference in the size of his groups.
