Yeah - but it's not so bad as to force me into such a drastic solution. Not to mention that for the scope bells 50mm and larger you can't go much lower than the native DTA mount (which I like very much).

That's what people do with SVD.

I concur. And if my example proves anything - I find the cheekweld less convenient than, e.g., my AICS, but it's not too bad, and I like everything else about this rifle. So I'm keeping my DTA.

True. But (a) it's not too bad as is - just not as convenient, and (b) it looks like the factory support for this feature <span style="text-decoration: underline">is</span> coming - though maybe not right now.
