I have never seen this. This scope was a good 6-7" above. When he had his eye in the eyepiece attached to the scope the rifle stock was in his shoulder. There was ZERO chance for any cheek weld. If he even tried the scope would be at his hair line. It was weird.
I mean I've seen high scope mounts (HK claw mounts for example) this was at least 4" higher than that. When I say 6-7" hight it was 6-7" from the scope bottom to the top of the gun.
