Do I need a picatinny riser?

[Mullet]

I have a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 on a picatinny rail.

Problem is, I'm able to see the barrel in the scope while zoomed all the way out. Once I zoom out past the 1.5 mark, the barrel is out of visibility.

I have tried mounting the scope all the way forward & back with no success.

I was told I may need a 20 moa riser...

What do y'all suggest?

Pictures attached...

Nah, it’s fine

Why does seeing the barrel matter?

[Bone Thug]

Being able to see the barrel at 1power is a good thing. IMO.
You can add a front manual flip up sight and be able to co-witness at the 1x. At least if the scope fails you have the ability to see and use the flip up sight.

Nah you’re good. That’s normal.

No, but you need to plumb them crosshairs dude !

I see the barrel on my 375h&h when on 2x. Seemed wierd at first.

You will rarely if ever shoot below 3x

Thanks everyone! Sounds like it's not an issue.

That would bug me. I do not see my handguard on similar setups. Does that scope base have 20moa built-in? What is the part number/Manufacturer?
