plastic scope mock-up
Thanks for the useful answers and that great link.
The thing is that in the real world rifles are made without sights, and are sold from a rack without scopes. So it is impossible to get a clear sense of where the eye will be in relation to the line of sight once a scope is mounted (cheek weld).
If gun counters had 1" opaque plastic tubes with plastic rings, plastic medium bases and plastic screws, the racked rifles could be mocked up with fake 'scopes'. Being plastic or nylon, there is no damage to the new rifle.
Pick up the rifle with your eyes closed, shoulder it. If you're looking straight down the tube, the cheek weld will be good provided you get the proper ring height.
