Oldknotty, to fully understand your question, I have to know whether you mean that a gunsmith is going to drill and tap a forward mount for you on the barrel? If not, then an "IER" (intermediate eye relief) scope won't work on any type of standard-placement mount on that rifle.
However, having said that, there is one scope out there if you can find it on clearance or used (since it's been recently discontinued), which is essentially *BOTH* an IER and a "regular" scope - the Nikon 1.65-5x36mm. It will be labeled either "Omega" or "TurkeyPro" or "Slugmaster". On the lowest setting of 1.65x, you can see through it all the way from around 4.5" out to about 13.5", and on the highest setting of 5x, the eye relief is anywhere from 3" to about 5.5".
So this allows you to mount it in either place - in the conventional place on the standard mounts, at low power, up to about 2.5, it's very easy to "find" the exit pupil from any place on the stock, even if your head is all the way to the rear, and/or if hunting with a very thick coat on. I think this may help you in your situation.

But also look at the Leupold VX1, 1-4x20mm scope with a "heavy duplex" reticle - it has very long eye relief on 1x. It's a bit over $200.
The good news is that if you can find one for sale, it will likely be closer to $150 or less than it's original price in the $220 range.
Now if you WERE talking about a new forward mount being installed, then that opens up the Burris fixed 2.75 and Leupold fixed 2.5 scout scopes, in addition to the Nikon Omega, as well as a few others out there.
As far as twisting your head - sorry but I have to ask this due a recent experience with someone that I wouldn't have theretofore thought possible - the other day my friend was looking through one of my rifles, and I had to do a major double take - even though he shoots "right-handed" with his head on the left side of the buttstock, he actually closes his right eye and looks through his left eye, reaching his head way across the top of the stock!!! Now all those stories of him missing deer suddenly made sense. I tried to explain his folly and get him to convert, or to just shoot left-handed, but I doubt it "took" - so, point is, you're not doing *that*, are you?
