[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1348298, member: 101677"] As wild rose stated it has more to do with eye relief. When you set your rifle up, set the scope a little forward to accommodate your prone position shooting. Then hold it standing and you should be near maximum eye relief, just move your head forward and back. Remember to turn it to max power. Lop is really preference and the size of person. I’m 5’8” and like a standard 13 3/4 length, even for prone shooting. If you go too long you take away the bend in your elbow for support and if you go too short it’s hard to get enough eye relief on the scope. An aside: One advantage of having a bit of scope shadow is you can use it to remove parallax because you Center your eye to the optic [/QUOTE]
