[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1236065, member: 38154"] To adjust the eye relief I usually do the following: Close both eyes and pick the rifle up to your shoulder and hold it in shooting position with your eyes closed. Get a good comfortable cheekweld while your eyes are still closed. Make sure it is comfortable, and when everything FEELS comfortable, open your eyes without moving your head on the stock. If you can see a full sight picture in your scope (no black edges) you have the correct eye relief for your scope. Don't move your head, but adjust the scope closer or further away from your eye, then retighten the rings. If you don't do it this way, then you will always have to move your eye closer or further from the eyepiece when you are getting ready to shoot to get a full sight picture in the field of view.
