While I was mounting up a new scope I ran into a problem with a question.

I'm using IOR 35mm low rings on a Badger 20 moa base and my bubble level I feel is too close to the scope. Maybe 1mm or two.

Will this be a problem?

Here's a crappy iphone picture to show what I'm talking about.

this, plus the position is so close to the ring the scope tube physically cant flex there, not like a big objective bell hangin out over a bbl by a hair of clearance.

+1 do to its location you will have no problems with it.
