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.
Each to their own..but not me..
I despise holding my head high on a firearm in order to look through the scope...there is a big difference between being comfortable and forcing your face into a stock to the point of being uncomfortable..that's why they make low, med and high mounts.. to eliminate this type of hold..
If you need to press your face into the stock your mounts are too low, get the next higher set..
