DIP 3/8" Dovetail to Picatinny Rail Question

Have any of you guys used the DIP 3/8" dovetail to picatinny rail (25MOA), scope base? If so how much higher does it raise the scope? I'm trying to not get my scope so high that I have to install a cheek rest. Rifle is a Marlin 880SQ, with a Boyd's Tacticool stock. Any comments on the quality of the mount is also appreciated. TIA

A little less than a 1/2 rise above the top of the receiver, but it's also the 25 MOA one

i don't have the boyds (yet, expecting one tomorrow or the next day), but there's a bunch here that run both the boyds and DIP base, i'm sure you'll get a ton of info on it with and without a cheek rest.

i just went to stock packs on everything just last year, they aren't really that bad once you spend some time getting them fit just so. adjust height if you need it by cutting a strip of foam and place on top of the stock.
