Thanks for looking. I'm new to the world of using scopes. Got a lot to learn and this is an example.

Recently bought a Savage Model 10P, SWFA SS 10 x 42 Scope, SWFA medium rings, and EGW one piece mount.

Been told the way to position the scope is to have the scope loosely mounted in the rings, close your eyes, bring the rifle into shooting position and then open you eyes. If the scope is at the right eye relief, you should get a good sight picture without having to move your head.

Did that and ended up with the scope in the position shown below.

In other threads, I notice most of the rear rings are positioned further rearward, just over the rear receiver. My rear ring is mounted about two inches forward of that. In order to place the scope at the proper eye relief, that is where my scope needs to be and that forces the rear ring to be forward.

Is something wrong with this?

Thanks a million for sharing your advice and wisdom.
