Originally my rings were too high and I could not keep my cheek bone on the stock, so I bought lower rings (I am always buying stuff that I end up not using). So it sounds like I just need to experiment more and see what is comfortable, as soon as I put my rifle back together.
Keep in mind, when we do something “wrong” for quite a while, that becomes comfortable and feels right.
So, when we first change or correct something, many times it will feel uncomfortable. That doesn’t mean it’s not going to work. Many times it means we are on the right path.
For example, a few years ago I was experiencing upper back pain. No one could figure it out. One night I awoke and noticed my chin was tucked down near my chest. So, I consciously starting making sure my chin was up and basically “looking forward” with my head while laying on my side. Well, I knew my head was looking forward, but it *felt* like I was looking up at the sky. I had become comfortable with a sleeping position that wasn’t good and a normal position felt extreme. Eventually the normal felt normal and the pain went away.
Point being, analyze your position and if you know it’s correct, work with it until the feeling is comfortable. Far too many people don’t get any better because they don’t work outside their literal comfort level.
