My scope bell to barrel distance is irrelevant. I have to be able to put my face on the gun naturally and comfortably with my eyes closed, and be center in the eye box when I open them, every single time. Where that puts the scope in relation to the barrel couldn't matter any less, so long as they aren't occupying the same real estate.

To be fair, the thinking on scope height has changed completely in the past 10-12 years. Back in 2009, I posted a picture of my first fun rifle, a DPMS LR308 and was ridiculed for having my scope set too high. So I did some reading.
Convention at that time was you needed the scope as close to the barrel as possible for maximum accuracy. A left over perhaps of hunting rifle or “sniper” lore.
So I got lower rings. I’ve since changed back to higher rings. Being as I use prescription glasses a more face straight up position helps greatly.

I think so too. No point in making the cheek riser higher than it needs to be. I like mine like this:

I'm gonna raw dog my CDG this week with a Nucleus cut barrel. See reports of 308 feeding just fine. Friend of mine showed me a video of his feeding slick. Hopefully .284 feeds slick too. If not, the 7mm barrel goes on the Nuke and I get a PVA coned something.
Make the cheek riser exactly what it needs be.
I don’t even know who you are. How could I possibly take you seriously?Why are you taking me so serious
I call it... My Ginger.. Redheads are not for everyone..
Yeah I had thought I ordered it but I hadnt on any of the three orders... She is a pig at 17lbs.. I might take so of the extra weights off it after I shoot it a few times and then see which weights I like or feel better with..You know what would have gone well with that?
A red bolt knob.
I might have to wax her before I head out to keep it from getting sunburnt.. Lol... Next one I might do red with Blue eyes as those redheads are rare.
He said that he had to make clearance for the front and rear of the trigger hanger. You quoted him.
I get it. It’s actually a minor fitment and should not require a smith. Unless you rank yourself as level one novice.
Level one: no tools allowed in the house per spouse’s request.

Hey, only dog shit bolt faced builds in here. Take that Nucleus to the Nucleus thread.
Many, at first glance. Only one CDG Build thread though, but if we're gonna just start throwing random builds in here too, I've a couple pics I can add.
It was a mistake. I don't like contamination of threads either. Thought I was sending in a PM. Realized the error in 10 seconds and deleted. You monitor the site very closely.
I haven't tried using aics mags in either my CDG builds, but my Nuc, Origin and Archimedes run fantastic from ARC aics mags. I even run 22br and 6bra from the arc aics mags(no kits or modifications) and they've been very reliable.
It’s the better action of the 3, AND you’ll be able to run AW mags.
Yes its very loose so I ordered the little spacer that goes in above the Mag release.. But they fit my MDT chassis perfect.
Dumb question... Installed the PVA Barrel and torqued to 75lbs ... The laser engraving at the Brake is not totally at the 12 oclock position. Should it be? Headspace I checked and it was good.
Finally got some kind of stock or chassis to put my CDG in.
A few things to note: trigger hanger has no problem fitting in a JAE-700 Gen II. No modification necessary.
The barrel on this is a .308 Savage factory take off barrel so it does not have a coned breech face, I only have AICS mags at the moment and only have 155 ELD Palma's loaded (and some Tula and ZQI) all feed fine from the magazine without the coned face. Perhaps longer bullets will give me trouble, but so far no problem.

little spacer dont see it available at MPA site? would the adjustable mag lever work instead?
Sorry I lied... Messed with it a little more.. the flat bar piece on the mag release moved and it wouldnt catch but after I adjusted it... its fine now.. So the ruber Shim isnt needed... I havnt Ran it yet.. 101 degrees in the garage so tomorrow I will mess with it..
Yeah I knew what he meant but not sure he did... HaaaMandela effect from the CDG Announcement thread!
Sorry to bother you again about the MPA. Do you have the MDT ACC elite and the MPA too? If so do you think the extra 600 dollars is worth it
