Theres lots of room, I'm a small guy, so I like the adjustable cheek piece and the low scope, heres the best pic I have of the gap

Edit: that didn't seem to work

I'm trying to get some covers for the scope, but opticsplanet won't ship to Canada, I tried having them shipped to my sisters in the States, but they won't run my credit card threw even, because I'm from Canada, and there not available anywhere here yet. Drives me nuts.

Well, I'm having trouble getting Redding Dies here, so factory ammo for now (Hornady 32gr for the little buggers, Winchester Silvertip 40gr for the larger). I finally got my sinclair catalog so I'll be finally getting some reloading dies. I look forward to many hours of "load development" currently I only reload for handgun, and I hear rifle is much more rewarding.

Sweet set up.
You said you were having trouble getting Redding dies, have you checked all the usual big internet places like Midwayusa, Natchess, Midsouth, Graff & son, Lock Stock & Barrel, Cabelas?

Midwayusa won't ship to Canada, Cabela's only ships UPS (the cost of which is 1/2 the cost of the items to Canada), never heard of the otehrs, I'll check them out, thanks!

I'm not sure how to measure, is it outside to outside of the furthest holes? or Middle to middle? Keeping in mind this is my first ever rifle, and these are the first 4 shots after sighting it in, 100 yards, the quarter covers all 4 holes, and I measured with my digital calipers middle of the furthest 2 holes, its .4995 inch's, if its outside to outside furtherest holes, its .780, it actually shoots much tighter than that, like I said, these were my first 4 shots after first sight in, with my first rifle. Do you generally measure the inside or outside of the holes? Out of 5 shots I can get 4 to touch, always have one flyer for some reason.

I love the varmint hunters reticle, I'm a poor judge of distance, it helps a lot.
