At 100yds over the hood of my truck on top of my jacket. Once I dialed in my scope group of three within a quarter. That works for me.

I really like Rick Lowes leather items.. I have the same riser on my 45-70 and I love it.Henry88 wrote:I've seen folks inquire about "risers" like that but I never saw anything like this (leather) before. There are a lot of guns that could benefit from something like this.

Most of the leather products sold by Brass Stacker are by Rick Lowe.

I've you tried it out yet. I have same rifle, Warne Rings Pic. rail center line of scope tub to top of receiver 1 1/4". CuriousESquared wrote:Thanks to a deal with Markiver and a tip from Tad, my 223 SS is all put together and ready for its close-up!
Mark dealt me his Buckmasters 3-9X40 (BDC) and I used the Henry/Talley integrated rail/ring set-up. Plenty of clearance, so no need to remove the read sight, but the flipside is that getting a good cheek-weld was going to be impossible.
So, based on a Tad's recommendation, I bit on the riser/butt-wrap/shell holder from Rick Lowe Custom Leather. Hit it with about 4 applications of Bick's No. 4 soften the leather and laces up, and it turned out improving the color of it, too. Hated to cover up what is some pretty woodgrain, but need to see through the scope, so you gotta do what you gotta do!
Range trip is next!
