With precision bolt action rifles, it seems as though the idea is to mount the scope as close to the bore as possible. Leupold even designed a scope with a cutout to set lower.
Why is it that all the pics I see of scoped AR's, even the heavy barreled ones, seem to be mounted way higher than they could be?
