I am relatively new to long distance shooting. I have a Accuracy International AT with a Nightforce ATACR 5x25 optic mounted on the AI 20 MOA rail. My scope mount is a Masterpiece Arms BA mount. I lost the receipt for the MPA mount, but I think the height is 1.25" from the rail. The issue is I have a very large head and I am having a hard time getting proper check weld. In fact, I am having to really lower my head about an inch lower then is comfortable. The AI adjustable stock is set at its lowest setting. So I cannot adjust the stock to make it lower. What are my options other then getting a new scope mount? I really like my MPA mount. Are there rail adaptors I could use? If so, any cons to getting one of those? I assume its just one more thing to make sure is mounted correctly etc. I think I need at least another half inch of height on the mount. If anyone out there can assist me that would be awesome. I only shoot out to 600 yards at this point due to range constrictions. Please help advise me if you have the time. Thank you in advance. AB
Scope height question

get a new mount....there is no other way to increase drop at comb (lower the comb relative to the scope eye pupil) on this chassis that I can see. Much easier to reduce drop by padding up a cheek piece.
Get a new mount, sell the old one is all I can think to do.
You could try and get a riser like the Badger Ordnance but it has MOA built in and you might have issues if your scope has limited internal elevation. The NF shouldn't have that issue.
Honestly I would sell the mount and get a new one in the AR height if the 1.26" is too low. Maybe a 1.5" would work better.

Thanks. Kinda what I was thinking. But I wasn’t sure. Would you guys recommend 1.5” height rings or a mount at the 1.5”. Appreciate all the help.
Take your mount off the rail, stack some coins under it until you have the perfect scope height, measure where it's at. Then call Richard Near at Near Manufacturing, and order an Alpha Mount at the correct height.

Both will hold the scope securely and at the same height so 6 of one 1/2 dozen of the other.
