that’s the rmr mounted. It’s clear of any cases being loaded or ejected. Works just fine.

looks a little high for me
hope it works well for you
i like a firm cheek weld with my red dot on my Blaser 416RM. but thats me. originally i also had a n adaptor plate of sorts but i got a gunsmith in germany to help me out and he gave me the burris fast fire directly on a QD mount for blaser, much better and lower

It is a touch higher than id like, not so much that it is a problem though.
The adapter plate is what makes it slightly higher.

If i have a chance after this season, i will try bring the parts down to RSA and try get someone to modify them to do away with the adapter plate, unfortunately with the season starting, i dont have the chance to do that currently.

I used one of these and than had to mill a small amount off the red dot mount to clear so my wife could use the Kahles red dot on her 375 ruger that she use to have.

This is what I was thinking of doing with my RSM. How high does the red dot sit with these mounts under it? Any pictures possible?
