Nice but what’s up with that scope? Seems a tad bit tall but what do I know?!!

I ran an Ivey mount on both my 338lm and 375ct with zero issues.The only reason I went to the Charly Tac was the scope height of the Ivey. I will say nice looking rig and the Ivey will let you dial past the range of the rifle.

Touche!

Triple C in Creeson and then when I get to travel West into BLM land for work are my options right now.

It's the Ivey mount underneath that raises it that much.

You might want to go with some regular rings and get that scope down a tad. I tried to use a Geissele mount on a bolt gun with 40MOA base and it sat in the clouds too. I had to eat the mount and buy rings. YMMV. Great looking gun and I bet its a laser.

Hi,

Why does he need to get that scope down?

It makes absolutely NO difference (In a true ELR rifle) in how high or low the scope sits on the receiver as long as he is able to see through the scope properly with the adjustable cheek piece.

Also, you guys realize that scope "height" will adjust based on the position he has the Ivy adjustable mount turned to right?
