I just got my local gun smith to install a vortex diamondback 4.5-10x50 on my browning x bolt. The clearance at the objective is perfect with the barrel and weever rail. But on the eye piece end where your magnification zoom is it’s a little tight. He had to file it down a little I can fit a piece of paper through it (it’s kinda tight) should I go the next size rings up or is that okay? See pictures thanks!
