Hi there,

First post so be gentle!!! :)

I just picked up my new rifle from the gun shop.

Its a Savage 10 FCP-SR 24" in .308 Win. It comes with a once piece EGW rail and I had the gunsmith mount my Primary Arms 4-14 FFP with Burris XTR rings.

I checked the eye relief in the shop before leaving and it seemed good. On spending a bit of time a home in different positions etc. I think it may be a bit too far away from my eye.

My question is, can I just undo the lock screws on the rings and slide the scope back once notch on the weaver rail without causing too much shift in the bore sight.

I have no zeroed the rifle yet and will do so this Saturday. I plan to shoot some break in rounds and some sighters with the rifle set as is.

But I want to spend the whole day shooting and if the eye relief is off its gonna hurt the auld neck a fair bit. So if I could gain a 1/2" or so in the eye relief that may help the neck pain.

Any advice would be greatly received!!!

Thanks

Yes. Assuming its bore sighted, and you're shooting at a big piece of paper at 100 yards.
 
Thanks for all the advice!

I figured as much but I have never tinkered with this kinda stuff so a 2nd/3rd etc opinion always helps.

Ill loosen them rings off slide them back and re do them with some blue Loctite.

Thanks!!!
