It's not necessary to be overly anal about having 'em protruding some. A slight recess is ok for "stealth" purposes in mounting especially if you reside in an area or State where they are banned. What you risk in doing so is the "shading" effect that occurs in really close encounters from a street level off-axis shot or same from an overpass shot from above. We're talking of a few hundred feet here & by that time you should have already eyeballed the sniper hundreds of feet ago well beforehand !
