I got these risers for $18, goes up 1/2" but that's OK, plus cheap enough to keep complaints down from wifey who doesn't understand owning more than one gun.

That scope seems like a nice scope for $200 and I may buy another one for a different rifle too many, maybe the Mini-14.

Couldn't you simply cut off some of the front of the rail to miss the bell on the scope?

i considered that, but in general I don't like altering a firearm for accessories, this time the decision was close though as I don't know what to do with all the rail area.
One nice thing about the picatinny rail is that I can quickly swap out iron sights any time the mood hits, but it may be hard to fit both the scope
and back up sights.
Thanks guys for the ideas, I got the rifle just for shooting steel plates so it's not a huge deal if the scope sits 1/4" too high I guess.
A different rifle too many is a FAL which I like a lot, I put a military M4 type scope on that.
Too many is way better than not enough. And I can always mention guys we know who own more too many guns than I do.
