sabotloader,
The Bushnell 3200 is the same scope my son has on his Omega. It's mounted on the Leupold QR rings/base set up. There's ample clearance for scope covers as shown in picture.
How much higher is your scope than my sons pictured?

ACTUally I think mine is a bit lower than that... When I put my scope covers on they almost touch the barrel.... Naw, I went back and looked at it really looks like they are about the same

I think I am just a stock creeper - goes back to the way they made us shoot in the military back in the old days... I mean I litterally jam mycheek into the stock - the comb - the cheek bone is right on top of the comb...

When I lay a couple pieces of leather on the comb and drop on to the scope everything is good - less than a 1/4" of leather...

sabotloader,
I close my eyes and throw theOmega up onmy shoulder and open my eyes and I'm looking straight down the scope. I don't like making head adjustments ormove my cheek off the stock eitherto look through the scope.
I've got a fat face, so my cheeksmust be working for me.....don't need a pad.LOL

ENCOREMAN

I do the exact same thing and I am looking right over the base and into the base of the rings.... On the Remington with the same scope - boom I am right on... I am not sure it has anything to do with fat or skinny cheeks, cuade I have the fat variety also- just the way I get on the stock. never had a real problem before, but for some reason this one is not working.

The only time I really notice a real problem is bench shooting, because when I am bench shooting I really do not hold the front of the gun at all - it just rests in the the front rest and I put my finger tips on the top rail of wood along the barrel. I use my cheek placement - pressedon the stock to help reduce recoil and the upward thrust of the gun because i am not really holding it. I have a firm grip on the pistol grip and it pulled back into the shoulder but realy no presure on the forearm to hold the gun at all. Most time I do not even know when the gun is going off until it does.

I think what I might do for a temp fix is fashion some sort of a leather lift to cement on the stock soI can take it off if i do not like it.

I had the same problem when i put a red dot on my rifle i solved it by making a cheek rest out of soft pipe insulation. I slit the insulation and put
it on the top of stock. You can hold it in place with rubber bands or a
slip on sheath that holds a few bullets. It aint purity but its cheap and does the job.

That might just be what I need for range shooting - it certainly is a place to start - had not thought of that one. I really think I will be ok for hunting because of the different grip I'll have on the forearm....

thanks mike

martinfaw,
"Good idea" Now that's using your noggin.

sabotloader,
Let us know how this works out for you.

How about one of these? They say that even though it's a 50mm objective lens, it sits as low as a 36mm. Looks kind of cool, too. And the prices start at only $699.00! You would probably have to modify the scope cover, but that might not be too difficult.

I have seen the adds for these.... but I am so _ _ _ _ _ old fashionedI can not even imagine me having one... In fact I feel pain for that objective lens - that warp has got to hurt....

Makes me think the barrel got really hot!
