As said with see thru mounts, it's hard to get a good cheek weld because the scope is up so high. I have to raise my cheek off of the stock sometimes. Would I want that on target rifle? No. However, I do use them on my muzzle loader and like them a lot. In a hunting situation I don't find it that hard to raise my cheek up a little, and with my muzzle loader I like to be able to sight my open sights in for close range shots, and have the scope sighted in at 100 yards. I hunt with several guys that use them on their rifles and love them, and several others that have tried them and don't like them. I'm more on the don't like them side, but it's a personal preference. I'm just not crazy about them on a rifle, but I do like them on my muzzle loader.
