Thread: New rifle, scope question

Hi guys,

Went into hunting & fishing today to get myself a gun. Couldn't wait any longer. Managed to score a very good deal in the end.

Anyway, I took my scope in and the fella fitted it for me. I feel like it's a bit too far forward tho? He did get me to look through etc before he tightened it. But when I questioned it being so far forward, he said it's to prevent the recoil from giving u that third eyebrow. It just looks more forward than any gun I see online. doesn't look right to me, also 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?

Here's a photo.




Cheers
