Greetings,

I bought a Rem 700P in .308 and mounted an HDMR on it using a Seekins 30 MOA base and Seekins low rings. My question is about the positioning of the front scope ring on the base. In order to get the eye relief I want I had to move the front scope ring to the forward most position which is on the "tab" portion of the base in front of where it mounts to the receiver. Is there any problem with mounting it this way? I appreciate any and all comments and suggestions.

Semper Fi,

Tim

All my scopes are set up with the ring in front slot.
Never been a issue.

Thank you both for the quick replies. I just had not seen this much so thought I would ask. Thanks again
