Hey all-
Really excited to go on my first elk hunt in 2014, SW Montana. I'm shooting a Tikka 300WSM with a Leopould 4-14 VX (II or III). My question is on scope eye relief...If I look through the scope dialed down I get a full view when I mount the rifle properly...when I dial up the scope to max magnification I get the "shadow" which requires me to move my head forward on the stock. I have about 3" of eye relief to play with, any advice against moving the scope back an inch or so?
Also, the rings I have are supplied by Tikka and clamp into the top of the rifle (forgive me as I'm not using proper terminology). Has anyone ever had any trouble with those type of rings? They appear to be..well, flimsy. I've put 200 rounds through the rifle so far and no change in POI, but I baby the rifle.
Thanks
