seems you kind of missed the point.
No I didnt

But try holding a ruler with the rifle and the scope to get it right.

You dont even need to know what the eye relief is. Yoou will find out what it is when the scope is on the rifle and you can get level.

The method I described allows you to get it right to the millimeter without the risk to your eyeball

I mentioned the other stuff because it may be factors others will come across when they come to do the same things so stuff like height of mount or the necessity for reach forwards might be predicted rather than buy the wrong kit and have to wait before you get the right solution.

It is bourne from having already been in the position myself and getting frustrated when you have bought the wrong stuff or the mounts too low or....

But each to their own
