[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3655870, member: 15054"] I just noticed that is an AR shaped platform. You will need to get the scope up high to get proper eye position. I have found when shooting long distance with the AR platform and a high above barrel scope the gun is much harder to keep steady. Could be the angle of the stock or could be the wobbling side to side will be exaggerated when the scope is above the center line of the barrel more than a lower mounted scope. If you are shooting off a bench it is not as much of an issue as if you are standing and shooting or lets say hunting. I have thought of getting a custom barrel for a bolt rifle in 30-06 a few times and see if it can be a really accurate piece with great velocity. I would not want an AR shaped platform though.. may just be me though. It is cool looking i will give it that. [/QUOTE]
