Thread: New rifle, scope question

when I bring it up to my shoulder I have to creep my head forward just a tad to get the perfect eye relief (maybe a cm or so). Any opinions on this?

My opinion (not sure of its value)........ if you have to move your head forward then yea the scope is too far forward
Close your eyes shoulder the rifle with your head in your comfortable shooting position .... open your eye, if the scope is in the right spot the eye relief will be right and you won't need to move your head. How far forward to mount a scope is not the same for everyone and some scopes have a long eye relief so if you don't like it or it doesn't feel right move it.
