    Its fine ,l would query if you have proper eye relief but your eye brow will soon find out. When l had the Long Range Hunting bug l have ran a 338 Edge, 300 RUM & 300 Wby Mag among others over the...

    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...

    I’ve got two rifles set that close to the barrel. Both are fine.

    kiwiazonic liked post by Cigar On thread : How low is too low, scope/ barrel clearance
    But the OP said there is not enough room for a business card. I wouldn't expect much barrel movement that close to the action, so it should be okay, but if it was me I would be taking into...

    If you are running a moderator/silencer then you are going to learn about heat haze/mirage real fast.

    kiwiazonic liked post by CBH Australia On thread : How low is too low, scope/ barrel clearance
    I think the air gap would be enough to be a buffer against any heat conductivity or heat radiation. If the barrel whips at that part of the Knox form touching the scope your accuracy issue won't...

    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...

    Milled grooves in the action vs an unsupported rail? Not quite the same let alone the calibre difference. Interesting vid. though!
