Well, thanks to XK319, my Smith Enterprises ACOG/MIL STD-1913 Scope mount arrived today! I will say that the mouting process was rather difficult and frustrating. BUT, once it was mounted the ACOG sat fairly low and eye relief was way better. I used the last two holes in the mount, so I had to remove my rear sight aperature in order for the ACOG to sit back to the farthest possible position.
Once everything was in place, I was pleased with the mount overall. I took a few photos of the ACOG mounted and with me shouldering the rifle.
Hopefully this will give those of you interested in this mount a little better idea if how it sits and what will be required to use it. For me personally, I will definately need a cheek riser, but not a huge deal. Any questions just ask!

In order to mount all the way rearward, the rear aperature has to be removed

This is the way I would normally shoulder the rifle to use my iron sights. Notice my face is lower on the stock

This is the way I had to shoulder the rifle to have perfect eye relief and cheek height. A cheek riser would be an absolute must for me
