I always aim for around 1mm clearance. Scopes set too high off the barrel tickle my OCD. I have one rifle that the scope is about 3 sheets of paper off the barrel and have noticed no problems at...

As already suggested, if it's a conern (and it wouldn't concern me) move the scope a tad forward. It appears to already be on the apex point. As long as it doesn't compromise your eye relief. From...

Perfectly fine in my experience - I fit my scopes the same.

Watch a rifle fire in super slow mo. You'll be amazed how much the barrel and receiver flexes under recoil.

As long as they are not touching , then this should be fine. If you want to move the scope forward a fraction, the gap will open up as the barrel tapers away. You have the widest part of the scope on...
