Quoted: Looks like the RAS is a tad higher than the stripper clip area canting the scope up. I'm sure it works just fine towards it's intended purpose.

Well, I'm sure the RAS performs as advertised -- that's not my point. In any event, see how well it is employed above. Uh, no? In this case, I'm speaking to appropriate ring height, mounting and the overall package
relative to dollars expended. In fact, just what did the 25ID(L) get for their RAS-equipped M14s? The 0.50" Med. NSN 1005-01-535-4423 rings, that's what. They wisely did not get tall rings, as depicted above. The rings were also mounted on issue NSN 5.0" side mounts. As I said, money can be better spent (assuming Commanders, S-4's and S-3's have a clue!). In the case above, the photo speaks volumes.
Let me put this in perspective: You have X amount of dollars to spend. What are your priorities? Sadly, in the case of most units -- they are ill-stated or just plain confused, as likely evidenced above.
