This video from Banana Ballistics explains that while traditionally scopes are mounted as low as possible, a higher scope mount can offer advantages. A higher scope mount requires less elevation adjustment for longer range shots, saving valuable turret clicks. The video details how scope height affects bullet drop compensation and discusses factors like objective lens size and barrel contour that may necessitate higher mounts. Drawbacks include potential loss of a consistent cheek weld on non-adjustable stocks and increased snagging potential in brush.
