Scope eye relief is the main problem with my LOP. Also here in Canada we have to wear heavy clothing in the November hunting season.
So I cut my favourite deer rifle stock to 13 1/4" including rubber recoil pad so as to be able to use a Leupold 2-7x33 compact scope, while wearing a heavy jacket. Not much eye relief in those little scopes and I could not use it until I cut 3/4" off the stock.
My 2c,
Mike
