If you have a scope mounted, there should be sufficient eye relief to keep the scope eye piece from contacting your head under recoil.
as said by JamesB , best advice but , I need to add to this .
Its july its hot and your in a tshirt ...gun fits awesome , fast forward to November...its -20 ,your all bundled up and dam...gun don't fit , gotta reach way out to shoulder , gotta wiggle it around to get sight picture , wth is wrong lol.
take your hunting parka with you . try gun with it on , does it fit now . I do this with all my purchases . did this with the wife when she decided to start huinting with me . as she found out some fit awesome in a tshirt but not in full gear lol. winter or summer she has no problems with them because time was taken to factor in all the variables.
