Don't they interfere with the cheekweld? I bought some Carms and they were taller than the stock mags and I could feel them on my face making it hard to get a cheek weld. Added a delrin buttpad and that helped to push the cheek weld behind the magazine but made eye relief a little finicky.

Myself as well as a shooting buddy have the RTI in .22. I'm left handed and he's right handed. Neither of us have an issue with Orion's mags as far as cheek weld interference. I cannot speak to the Carms as I have not used them as they do not offer a lefthanded model.
However, as you mentioned, it requires spending a little time getting the scope located with the proper eye relief and the mag not rubbing against your cheek.
I should also mention I have a buttpad from MrMetals here on the forum and IMO this is a must for any owner of an RTI. The LOP of the gun is too short (I don't have long arms either) and his buttpad was just the right size to correct any issues with scope eye relief, mag location and LOP.

Yes, they can. I’m a short dude, so I’m far enough back on the gun that I can get away with it, but prefer the Carm mags because they are lower.

OK I have a few Carm magazines in 177 and a few in 22 , also have a few of Orion's magazines , I think Orion's mags are the best hands down, To me the tiny 177 pellets are hard to load in any magazine , I got my 22 barrels working so I got to get hold of Orion and order another 22 magazine.
I sure wished someone would make a good magazine holder for the prophet.

Hi All,
You are right they can be too big too - Soeren asked me for a "large capacity" magazine and at first I did a 25. rounds magazine for him.
His eye and cheek was behind the magazine so that was fine but his glasses touched the magazine (sometimes) and thats anoying.
So i redesigned again and made the 20 rounds version you see on his images. Under here the difference in size matters

I have the same problem with my glasses and the Orion mags, I can make them work, but I often hit the mag with my glasses when Shouldering the gun.Hi All,

I'm planning releasing a small magazine that can double down with magnets similar to the Daystate ones, will see how that goes

I was using the Orion mags today, those extra shots are nice, there is always a trade-off. A lift off lid style would be great Erlis, much easier loading!
Now about that cheek rest… actually a friend here hooked me up.
