BC stocks, scope use, comb height
« on: August 05, 2010, 06:47:40 PM »
I just made an order for the CR-45LC.  In looking at photos, it looks like the comb drop on the BC stock is quite a bit more than the other stocks to accomodate for the open sights.

Has anyone had problems using a scope on this rifle?  Are the store bought "comb raisers" needed?

I had no problems using a scope on mine, I have a scope on my 38-55 Target which has the same stock, it works fine too.

That's exactly what I was hoping. Thanks, Tim.

It kinda depends on what you are used to. If your scoped rifles have monte carlo's or otherwise high combs you may 'feel' like you are missing something. The properly fitted comb/cheekpiece will aid in quick mounting to get your eye directly behind the scope for 'snap shooting', but in the real world of deliberately shooting sporting guns the factory comb rarely does this, and we accomodate the stock moreso than we think.
On the BC use the lowest rings that get the scope off the hammer and just go shoot it, you will do fine.
