I notice that the 'scope pull', that is, the distance between the trigger and a vertical line extended downward from the rear of the scope's eyepiece, is essentially zero. Since 'scope pulls' of ~1.75" are more usual on modern rifles, I therefore assumed that perhaps this scope had been fitted with extremely long eye relief, to compensate for the excessive recoil movement. This scope's eyepiece position would place the shooter's eye more than 5" away from the scope; maybe not enough for complete safety but better than a first impression would indicate.
