They look like see through rings. I'm debating whether to take the sights off and use regular rings or use see through and keep the sights.
What kind of scope is that?
My muzzleloader has see thru rings under the scope.

Those aren't see thru mounts on C's gun. They are just high mounts to compensate for scope clearance of the rear iron sight.
With any rifle, you should be able to shoulder the gun with your eyes closed. Open your eyes and you should be able to see thru the scope perfectly w/o moving your head at all. If you have to move your head up, it is mounted too high. If you have to move your head forward or back, the scope needs to be moved. That's the reason I hate see thru mounts. I just got rid of them on my old 30-06

I have a friend that has his setup with see through rings. He preaches about being able to use his iron sights anywhere inside 50yds and then his scope for anything further. I shouldered his gun and didn't like moving my head up to look through the scope. He went on and on about the benefits of having both. I told him BS cause most rifles don't come with iron sights anymore.
I get that part. But my original question was whether 3-4 inches of eye relief was ok. I'm assuming yes since it looks like that's about how far the scope is from where your head would be when shouldered.
