In reply to:

One could be done on low mounts and the other has to done on med or high mounts. With high mounts, your stock and cheek weld would be non-existant and you would crane your neck up so only your jaw would be touching the stock.





In reply to:

Well, not quite, with a proper cheek piece or comb there is no problem.

Lower power I understand, the smaller objective I don't.




DoubleD Most rifles that are made as DGRs, have both Iron sights, and scope in QD mounts. A stock, properly set up for a 40MM objective scope will not allow one to use normal Iron sights, when the scope is removed. If the stock is set up for Irons, then the best scope for it is a 20MM objective, and a long eye relief scope, that is well made, and in low rings, and QDs for quick removal. The stock that is set up for the irons, is the best stock for a DGR, and if a scope is to be used, the 20mm is the best choice!
