it seems eye relief is more critical when using a scope on a Bullpup.

10 min after this photo I took the Discovery off and put my Athlon back on the the gun.

It was fine at the bench but once in the field it was a no go.

That scope is particularly picky with eye box. you need to mount it perfectly to be in optimum placement so when you shoulder the gun you've got a perfect picture.

2-8mag is where i've kept it and messin with the diopter helped a bit.

Offset cantilever mounts help if you are running short on rail space and need to position the scope better.

What are you finding out? I like shorter scopes and because of the weaver or Picatinny rails can not always get the optimum eye relief. This is a problem for me with Bullpups.... shooting offhand vs. shooting from a bench the hold changes thus the eye relief changes for me. Um ,my long neck doesn't help.I also use an adjustable butt plate.

Shouldering the same every time is part of consistency imho. The eye box on some scopes is more forgiving. I found long ago that I had my competition rimfire set up in a manner that nobody but me could shoot it well. It was out together and the stock shaped for my facial structure and body dimensions the cheek test being the biggest ordeal. My impact got a Saber butt pad to help with various shooting positions for your exact premise.
