[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1148314, member: 33822"] This is right on and great that you pointed this out for anybody considering a The 3-18 VX6. Jim Borden, who built my 338 RUM, highly recomended against the VX6 with Talley rings for this exact reason. Talley does make extended rings to help solve this problem and even with the extended front ring which allows the scope additional travel towards your eye, it is still mounted probably 1/4 - 3/8 of an inch too far forward. I am able to make this work because I am tall and my size allows my shooting position to be more forgiving than most people. I have considered picatinny base/rings, but when I shoot long range I'm exploding 1/2 moa sized rocks out to distances way further than I would shoot at an animal. So in the end of it works, don't try and fix it. :cool: [/QUOTE]
