Karma Shooter, Looking at our Body Position

Here is prone, the house sucks I wanted a better image, I might need a slight tweak but I’m not laying in the snow for this

lol...me either.

Is it an artifact of the pic or did you have to crank your head back a bit further in the prone than in the the earlier pic, above?

I'm not arguing that this approach is inherently flawed...not at all. And, we seem to agree that I (and others) just need to pop that riser on a rifle to really understand and see how it works.

And in reference to the last couple of posts above about if you were declaring this to be the one way to go....I think its been pretty clear to most that this is just an exercise in exploring new ideas and to not be advocating things just because "that's how its always been done". Being analytical and thinking outside of the box appears to be one of the great things Chris seems to bring to the table. He doesn't seem to be locked into any particular orthodoxy and he almost always has data to back up what he says. If nothing else, you two got a bunch of us thinking about scope above bore height (and you're having a beneficial impact on AR riser sales! haha). And if it doesn't suit, we can drop back down to whatever height did work.

Oh...and hey, Frank...I just found where your hair went...it migrated to your jaw! haha

@Lowlight are you raising your buttpad as well as the cheekpiece?

It looks like by raising the optic height it is also effectively lowering the bore height in relation to how you shoulder the rifle, making the rifle recoil in a straighter path (less muzzle rise)?

Damn it Frank! You got me out to looking at my scoped rifles and I may need to invest in a chamber pot full of higher rings! Even offhand with using that method, my eye is right at the top of the ocular bell. This migh help my Dad return to shooting after mis multiple back surgeries.

BTW does anyone have a source for Leupold High or Extra High gen 1 QD Rings?
