Dayrl:
You could be right; I have shot that rifle less than 10 times and it was off a bench. I almost never shoot off-hand; I either shoot off a bench or from a deer blind with a good rest and 98% of the time the rifle has a scope mounted. Are you saying the 550 American style stock cannot offer the proper sight picture through a scope (or even through iron sights), or are you saying it is important to select the correct height rings? If I keep the rifle and leave the Brno stock on it what height rings should I use, or would you leave it with only the express sights?

Thanks,
Don
