Check your length of pull before you start chopping stocks and changing but pads to determine your personal lop each person may be different Standard length of pull is 13 1/2″. To measure your length of pull you should measure from the pad of your index finger to the inside of your bicep. It is important to make sure your index finger is in the position as if you were shooting the gun (your length of forearm is the factor your after) other than that you may have to go to a longer scope i personally like the way your going I have never been a fan of solid mounts over the bridge just looks wrong TO ME
