You are good as long as your eye is inline when you have proper cheek weld.
That dog will hunt. A 22-250 doesn't generate the recoil to induce scope flex. You have your front ring close to the objective too, so it ain't going anywhere.
Kinda what I was thinking. Thanks for the input guys!

Getting a scope as close as possible to the barrel is such a 1980s way of thinking. Get it to where your head is in a comfortable position with a proper cheekweld no matter where the scope is height wise. All modern software allows for scope height above the centerline of bore.
Unfortunately true
I understand that just didn't want to buy rings if not needed. Cheekweld is not perfect but close enough for this one.
Thanks!

In some rifles, the scope (rings ) height can impact ejection. Empties were hitting the windage knob on my scope with low rings. Had to switch them out to medium height rings. Just something to think about.
Didn't give that a thought. Gonna shoot it when the rain quits. I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks!
Not a problem with 22-250 case length. 308 family.

I was taught to always mount the scope as low as possible, a credit card thickness clearance is ample.
These rails and rings that mount the scope an inch above the barrel are just wrong. I have sent back numerous mounts for this reason.
I also don't like rails that impede on ejection, whoever thought this design above the ejection port has no common sense…
Cheers.

Man, I thought this was a scope sale when I clicked on it.
On a side note. I like them as close to the barrel as I can get them. If I can see daylight between the bell and the barrel, I'm happy. I don't shoot great big magnums so I've never had a problem with scope flex

I have a .22-250 whose scope clearance will only let a thin sales receipt slide through without interference. It has worked extremely well for me for 6 years now. No problems.
