I know that pistol scopes with long eye relief should generally be used on a pistol for proper arm posture, and to keep the gun out far where it should be.
But what about on a "bench pistol" with less recoil and a bipod? Are rifle scopes ever used on these so that the gun is held in close, nearly like a rifle position?
I'm building a long-range Encore pistol mainly to shoot from a bench, and I envision having my left arm laid at a 90 from the gun in front of me, and using that forearm to rest the grip on to shoot with my right hand. This would bring me in close to use a rifle scope with less relief.
Would this just be a bad technique to shoot with, having only one hand on the pistol, or does it sound feasible for target shooting?
Thanks.
