Maybe you'll need a cheek riser/pad but once you get it you also get to adjust it perfectly for your head. With the bare factory stock it's pot luck that usually works .... mainly ... OK.

Raise the scope and you get clear bolt travel (both past the scope ocular and also safely away from your eyeball). Also less hot barrel mirage issues (especially a problem with a big, hot suppressor).

Also if your target is so far out that a scope is necessary then the height of scope above bore axis just extends your point blank max/min range.

But for up close targets, high scopes can cause difficulties, but these are hardly insurMOUNTable....
