Well, I moved the rings forward so they'd be up against the two recoil studs on either end of the base or mount. I don't have to keep them there, but under recoil, the rings are subject to moving forward on the mount and I knew that placing them against the studs would keep them from moving. If I move just the front ring back, the scope can then be brought back too. Maybe if everything were tightened properly, the whole sheebang would be anchored by the rear scope ring.
However, where the scope is set now, the sight picture comes in Perfectly for me when my cheek is against the stock. My cheek actually isn't too far forward or too far back on the stock. It's just perfect. My hold, although a tad higher than normaly, is in the same place on the stock as it would be if the rifle had no scope on it at all.
My cheek comes to rest in what Mr. Campbell called the Military Hold or the Trained Rifleman shooting style. Mr. Campbell called it the Shotgunner Hold or shooting style when the head is erect and the cheek or jaw is further back on the stock. I like the Trained Rifleman Hold, which was taught to me by my grandfather who was a WWI veteran and a qualified Expert with the 1903 Springfield.
