    If I was you, I would rethink things........ The correct eye relief is where you get the FULL sight picture - the full field of view! If you get whacked by the sight, that is a gentle reminder that you a) ain't holding the rifle tight enough or b) you need a longer butt. Sorry, but thems the facts of life as taught to snipers on day 1 of their familiarisation day on the range

    Yes...you can't just set it on a sandbag and hope for the best. Position and hold must be firm enough to support the weapon.
