I'm glad I can entertain you. There is no one to "show", just trying to make an excellent rifle more user friendly w/o destroying its originality. If you believe mounting a scope as high as my FN is the way to go, that's your choice to make. Any modern shooting school or military qualified sniper would tell you it is obsolete. The R1 carries the scope as a modern rifle should. It does also not have a huge objective lens as they are totally unnecessary with today's glass and coatings. Not to many R1s down under I believe, but the same holds true for even a 1950s Remington bolt action.

"Suitcase handle" mounting started when scopes were unreliable and usually carried in a protective leather pack. As the irons were still in place and "low scope bolt handles" did not exist, scopes were mounted high to clear both.

Here is a modern day sniper rifle. Note how low the scope is mounted.

Hope you continue to be entertained and ….. perhaps gain some knowledge.
