Rifle mounts and eye relief

[KnotRight]

Got my 22 LR shooting pretty good for me but I would like another 1/2 of eye relief. I can slide the scope up about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch without moving the mounts.

Question that I have is how much do you think it would effect the zero @ 100 yard?

I believe there should be no difference.

Anytime you break the screws free on a scope I would not expect it to hold zero. If you get luck it might but I always rezero when I’m looking for more accurate sighting and even when using a QD on red dots on an AR I at least verify it is on center.

You'll have to re-zero it, but not by much.
What have you got to lose? You want more relief...go for it.

Luckily if the zero shifts it shouldn't cost you more than 25 cents to re-zero!

 

[BowWow]

Yes... your zero should be the same, if not very very close.

Careful with all that recoil though

Move it to match the ergonomics you require. Rezero. It takes some work, but worth it.
