[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1915985, member: 94154"] If you close your eyes, shoulder and open and your height is spot on, do not change the LOP. Change the position of the scope. What's your scope magnification set at? At high magnification, eye relief will shorten by as much as 8mm. If you look at the Viper PST specs, the eye relief is listed at 3.14", but they don't list high/low. That's pretty close, IMO. Some thoughts: [LIST] [*]Is it the Seekins 20MOA rail that prevents you from moving the scope forward? [*]The internal adjustment on the PST is listed as 75moa. Essentially 38 up / 38 down.
