Personally I think a lot of those euro mount systems set your scope up too high to get a good cheek weld.

Yeah I've considered Recknagel and EAW pivot mounts - but as you say they are quite high, and the comb on my rifle is already quite low.

From what I understand, the claw mounts, while a bit more expensive, allow for lower mounting (lower than any other mounting system) and especially if you go for a scope with a proprietery rail as opposed to rings.

If my rifle wasn't traditionally styled, I would have gone with a Picatinny setup - less fuss (probably more durable) and cheaper. But in my situation it wouldn't look right.
