    As long as you can slide a dollar bill under the bell of the scope and the barrel.

    Vibrations might touch your scope which is bad. 1/16" sounds like it might be enough. If you start seeing wierd groups over time, you know what to go back too.

    A 1/16" should be fine. High mounted scopes sukk.

    Good Luck
