I just got an HTI50 and mounted my scope on high rings (1.34"). I was able to get a decent cheek weld when I was initially getting a rough sight-in done from the prone position, but when I went to shoot it from the bench I noticed exactly what you described. I felt like I had to lay my temple flat on the cheek piece in order to just barely get any alignment. I read one of the replies below about rotating the rifle slightly toward me and aligning the scope with gravity as a workaround, but it just seems like for a $7k+ precision rifle, there has to be a better way. I'm looking at the eratac 1.85" mount thinking it might be high enough. Does anyone here have any experience with this? Or alternatively, has anyone come up with any other solutions?Thanks!
