Scope - Eye relief problem? Not sure what to do

[GM54-120]

Looks like Talley makes a fairly good one too. What i dont like about EGW is they use extruded 6061 and they dont offer a heavy duty rail.

You need rings something like this. More range of mounting.

2 thing that you can try
can be turned around sometimes that could give you inch
They make off set rings that can move scope back see picture

These are made by Hawke but other companies make them. Go to a site like MidwayUSA and check.
I have them on all my guns and crossbows.

Hi all - I have a Bushnell Banner scope on my CVA Wolf. My problem is, even with the scope as far back as it will go in the rings, the sight picture is not clear...the black ring on the sides is there unless I move my head closer to the scope- which is an unnatural shooting position for me. Since the scope rings cannot be moved further back due to the location of the breech plug...I am not sure what to do. I do not have this problem with my Ruger 350 Legend, which has a 12.5 inch LOP...the CVA Wolf has a 14 LOP. If I need a new scope, that is OK, but what measurements should I be looking for to make sure that I will be able to get a clear picture at the highest magnification in my "normal" shooting position?View attachment 20024View attachment 20025 If a different gun, any recs for an inline with a shorter LOP?

I just purchased a Banner Dusk to Dawn 3-9x40 for my new Optima 2. It is the Long Eye Relief model. You can push the scope almost all the way forward where the rear ring has about 1/4” gag before the zoom ring. Just shot mine for first time yesterday, all good!
NOTE: Make sure you get the right model. There are two models. The one you probably have and the Long Eye Relief.
You want Banner Model 613947 (not 613948).

If there is a gun shop around you can ditch the dura sight mount and get off set mounts which may allow you to bring the scope further back.

Can you post a pic of the gun with scope...I'd like to see how it is configured. Thanks!

I have run in to this problem several times . My solution has varied. I have a 14 3/4 “ length of pull . First off. I hate rails & high rings . The rails ad to much height & high even medium rings are not for me . I love extra high comb stocks . Richards Microfit makes some great stocks with extra high combs . I like to put my face on the stock & be looking through the scope with no head movement . I have added extra length by using extra thick kickeeze recoil pads or limbsaver pads . I have also used extension bases or looked for scopes with extra long tube bodies . Nothing works the same for every shooter in every situation . If the 350 Legend fits you well I would mimic the same for your ML . Just a friendly suggestion . Drop & pitch & LOP should be the same for each weapon .

The gentleman that has shown the ad on comb riser is on the right track for comb height .

I took my sisters stock off her wolf. Figured an inch would put her lop in the ball field. Fired up the chop saw and cut off the stock. Redrilled the screw holes in the plastic, remounted the recoil pad. Fits her perfectly. The worst i told her is if we ruin it the new ones are about 30.00 bucks.

My son has the same Talley rail on his CVA and we have no complaints.
