It’s already been mentioned, but EYE RELIEF is huge!
Everything is good standing and seated, and then you try prone and you just can’t crank your head rearward enough to get a good sight picture.
My scopes on 10/22s are mounted so the rear of the scope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch behind the rear of the action. It might seem too far forward at first glance, but in the prone your head moves forward to meet it.
Its a LOT easier to Turkey Neck forward standing and seated that it is to try to pull back in the prone.

This sling is identical to what’s sold in the Appleseed store, except that it’s black.

Use your favorite Medium height rings. I like Warne, but most of the name brands are very good. You can try low rings, but it’s likely the occular bell will touch the rail. I have one on low mounts that I can pass a business card through that gap, but just barely.

Use a COTTON sling. Nylon is slippery and it can slide around on your arm.
