extended the LOP now how can I adjust the Eye Rel
I recently added 2" to the butt of my stock (with recoil pads and spacers), the LOP finally seems to fit my long arms (6'3" 225 lbs) now the eye relief on the scope is out of whack. I don't think I can get the scope further back as is the rings are about to hit the slope created by the objective lens. Are there special scope base mounts that will help? Should I be looking at buying a different scope?
It's a browning A-bolt 30-06.
Thanks.

I have seen ring bases that extended rearward to move the scope back but I believe these were custom built. I suspect it would be more economical and practical if not painless to replace the scope with one with a very long eye relief. Leupolds offer among the best long eye relief, some in the 3.5" range. 0 -
get a set of extention rings - midwayusa.com has them among many others. 0 -
jameskat,
Welcome to the Gunbroker Forums!
All of the major scope base/ring manufacturers make extension type bases or base/ring combinations.
Check the various websites to see what they offer.
Leupold, Burris, Weaver, etc.

Brownells carries what you need. (800)741-0015 and ask for tech help and they will get you what you need. Personally I'd expect you need the weaver steel bases with the extra long front base and the high offset 4x4 rings. That combination should let you move the scope about a inch or more to the rear. Good luck with it..... 0
