What kind of mounts are you running on your TRG-42s?
I have 300 WinMag with Near MFG rail and Nightforce .8" Ultra light rings for NF NSX 3.5-15x50. The problem with the set-up is that the rail is around 10 mm high and I have to use 10 mm spacer for the cheek piece. I want the cheek piece to be even higher (12-13mm). But 10mm is the maximum (otherwise the bolt will not open). Also in current set-up I have to remove cheek piece every time when I want to remove the bolt. It's a hassle.
I see 3 possible options:
1. Find lower mounting solution.
2. Cut cheek piece so it allows bolt movement and removal
3. Make custom cheek piece.
My new TRG-42 is .338 LM and I suspect will have the same problem. I am planning to put S&B 5-25x56 PMII scope on it. It has bigger lens (56 mm) and tube (34mm). Looks like it will be even harder to mount it lower.
Any suggestions?
