The rifle is a Win 70 in .30-06, and I'm trying to put a Leupold VX-II in 3-9X40 on it. You'd think this combo would be a piece of cake, but it's been a headache so far.
My problem has been getting proper eye relief on the scope. Let me add...I really don't think this is a stock fit issue. I'm 6'1" tall with a long neck and have never experienced any stock fit issues with standard stocks before.
So far, I've tried:
Anybody got ideas for a better set-up in terms of mounts and rings?

So far, I've tried:
- Talley Lightweight Low -- Scope too far forward in its rearmost position.
- Talley Lightweight Low Extended -- Scope too far forward in its rearmost position.
- Leupold DD with Reversible Front (Low Rings) -- Bell of objective end hit the front mount.
- Leupold DD with Reversible Front (Medium Rings) -- This last one seems barely to work with the scope as far back as it'll go. I can get a good full view, though the scope is a little too high for my taste. Also, I'm not crazy about the mount overhanging the ejection port (see picture below.). But I guess it'll do till I can figure out something better.
