The eye wants the bead area of the rib to be on, or slightly under the target/bird, and it will put it there unless you make a conscious effort to "float" the bird above it. When you see too much rib, the comb is too high (if you are mounting the gun properly with cheek firmly on wood), and the gun WILL shoot high. You will miss over the bird.

The view may be immaterial but I've never found a gun that didn't shoot high when I saw too much rib. I've never found one that didn't shoot low if I didn't see enough rib. Immaterial or not, on a gun with a mid-bead, when the beads sit on top of each other with a proper mount, the gun almost always shoots flat, or not over 60/40 high.
