Longest eye relief scope? I have pics!

Yes that is what I need. If I shorten the stock a notch its just about perfect but then LOP isn't quite right... What about this mounted backwards?
It might look a bit odd, but if you are more worried about function than looks, by all means, go for it.

I have been very impressed with the eye relief of Sightron scopes. Most are in the 3.5 to 4" range - just see specs on my website or the sightron site.
There are several that might fit in your price range but if you can spend a bit more, you will have a superb scope.
Lowest cost solution is to just shorten the length of pull. Just watch the scope doesn't kiss you under recoil - it shouldn't with this much rifle but????
I can supply the Burris mount if you want to try but that eye relief has to be pretty darn short to need it.
change to a Sightron. The glass might be to your liking too.

On my 10BAS I have the scope sitting about 2 notches forward of the back end. Both the Bushnell 6500 and the Sightron 10x50 seemed to like that spot. Perhaps you need to spend some time shooting the piece, both bench and prone and find where the best position is for you.
On a side note, I ended up changing the shoulder stock to a Magpul PRS. It rides on a rear bag better and just seems to complement the rifle a little more, I thought.
You'll like the rifle. It's a good shooter. One thing to be aware of, tho' The rail is 0MOA, and if you are using somehting like a Bushnell at 600m or more, you will run out of elevation. Ask me how I know..hehehe...

Go ahead and mount it backwards, it will work just fine. function should come long before form.
