-If shooting with NBC gear on where you cant move your head. It gives you the clearance to make that happen
When people go to higher mounts, their reference points for the index of the rifle change, and depending on gun set up and body type, there is no tactile index. The amount of times you see guys with high mounts present the rifle, then bring their head upright is pretty telling.
