I have found that when shooting prone, my eye relief to the scope is better if I adjust the length of the butt stock to be 1" or 1.5" longer compared to the LOP that is comfortable when shooting standing or off a bench.
Is this normal?
If so, how should I set up the scope in a rifle that does not have an on the fly adjustable LOP but that is going to be shot in different positions? Assuming the rifle is the correct LOP for my size, should I set up the scope so that the eye relief is perfect when standing or off a bench, and then live with the fact that my eye will be a little closer when shooting prone?
I understand that it might depend on what the main use of the rifle is going to be. This is my "do it all" .308 bolt action with a traditional stock that will be used for hunting, PRS matches and longer range shooting from the prone position.
