I like high mounted scopes myself, although not all my rifles have them.
I like to look at the animal or target when practicing, snap the rifle to my shoulder and I am looking at the crosshairs on that animal. My head is held erect, my face not pressed down hard in to the comb just to see through the scope - cheek weld many call it.
For me, that is uncomfortable - I like to shoot standing as I walk - erect.
I agree that when shooting at really long ranges, a lower harder hold might be beneficial, however I don't need it.

I could be happy with that rifle as my only hunting rifle for big game. It would certainly be more than sufficient for all my future big game hunting.

For me any more, 300yards is 100yards past the furthest range I have used a modern ctg. rifle for, on big game.

Any more, shooting gophers at 400 to 500yards is the extent of my long range animal 'shooting'.

For big game, I do not need more than 200yards and that high mounted scope would handle that just fine.
