I have just acquired a Stag Arms Model 2.

Put on a nikon 223 scope and went to sight it in today.

 

This thing is right in my face.

I have attached a pic so you can see what kind of stock is on it.

Any suggestions for keeping that stock but just giving me like 2 more inches in LOP?

 

Also, how could I raise the scope a bit? The gun has a rail on top, and I have 1 in rings on now.

 

Thanks for any assistance.

Can you slide the rings/scope forward anymore?

 

If not heres a 1" spacer from DPMS http://www.dpmsinc.com/store/products/?prod=477&cat=1719

If the length of pull is comfortable and all you need is more eye relief look into a P.E.P.R. mount or something like it. It lifts the scope up and away from your face.

 

2 inches forwards as per the specs

I am going to move the scope forward a bit on the rings and check out that spacer. I want to keep the existing stock as it has a little 'compartment' on the buttplate.

 

 

The length of pull is way to close, so I have to space that out as well.

If your handy with tools you may be able to create a spacer to place on the back of the butpad, and use a longer bolt to secure it. You could even make it with a hole so you would still have access to the storage compartment. A piece of plywood a drill and a jig saw should give you what you want. Paint it to match and your good. A 223 doesn't have enough recoil to break the spacer.

I agree that moving your rings forward will help.

The cantilever mounts mentioned above work very well and DPMS make one that is extra high (I don't know about other companies).

There are also one piece rails that attach to your existing rail, giving you a variety of options in height. The problem is that the more pieces between the scope and the gun, the more potential for problems.

Good luck and congrats on the rifle.
