Are my scope rings too close to the objective bell?

If a piece of paper will fit between them, you’re good to go.

Edit: disregard the slip of paper, but yes it’s fine. lol

Reading and understanding English, it's not for everyone...

You got me there! Lol

I would be OK with that but I personally wouldn’t go any closer. I like to leave at least 1/8”

 

[Blackdog317]

Looks fine to me.

 

[wind gypsy]

Looks perfect. Thats what you want, rings at the ends.

 

[Caseknife]

Rings aren't on the taper of the bell, bell has clearance to the base, scope has the most support, looks great as long as you have the correct eye relief.

 

[Coopsdaddy]

No.

Why?if scope touches that wouldn’t you have serious issues somewhere else.
Curious why you think that’s not enough space.

What issues do you anticipate for his scope mount placement?

I’m right up to the edge of the bell with this rifle (not on it, but only an RCH away). I’ve got 41 rounds through it with this rifle (brand new barrel, new setup). My largest group with factory ammo has been 1.2”. The other three groups were 0.8-1.05”. That 41st round killed a whitetail.

Mind you, this isn’t exactly how I wanted it to look, but with the existing mounting locations and the short LOP on this rifle, it was the only way.

The question was is it too close and my answer is no.
