Had the same problem with my scope . With the regular rings the field of view was too far forward . Since I had weaver bases I had double extended rings installed which brought the scope back enough to view.
With another gun with Leupold base's and rings , I manged to go the same, with just one extended ring on the front , allowing the scope to move back about an inch.
In both situations , I was tranfering scopes from a short action rifle to that of a long action.
Compact scopes do not allow much movement to correct eye relief, at least not on long actions , so try to avoid this by getting a scope with more ER .
