the eye must comfortably align to the eye . shut your eyes , mount the rifle and only open your eyes once your head feels to be in your perfect fit , if you need to lift your head or compress it down on opening your eyes it needs altering.
Why height over bore does not matter

Just a reminder that a lot of you hold onto a misguided belief:
I'll appropriate this verse to make my point-
Romans 11:25–26a:
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited...
(I only refer to information that supports my opinions)
Do please remember to submit this article as part of your submission to DEFRA’s UK Deer Management Strategy Consultation. It’s bound to elevate the quality of debate and thus make all the difference.

I don’t think the guy moved on to a second series entitled “Coaching rifle shooting”
A high scope mount will exaggerate scope cant.
The experiment shown in the video did not test the effect. Their scope was aligned to the bore, and all they were doing was rotating the rifle slightly on its axis. If their scope mounts had been twice as high there would still have been no difference. However, had the scope been mounted with a 5 degree cant, yet aligned vertically and horizontally with the target (as it would be, naturally, as your eye compensates for the cant) then there would have been an increasing effect as the mounts got higher.
The below quote from @Muir suggests to me that cant is quite likely to be induced through poor scope mounting, as I have described above, and the experiment has no relevance to that situation.

Still makes me laugh. How many times was she told? I heard at least two.
Not sure which was funnier; her getting scoped, or her impression of a moose being shagged by a porcupine
