    Ive had the same. If your scope is like 50mm objective youre forced to mount it high anyway. One time i thought id file off a little bit from the ocular aluminium so i could get the bolt past it …

    Only Leupold have small enough ocular. Im not sure about theVX5 but VX3 is good. I think the drawback is less field of view and “eyebox” than weve cone to expect.
