I moved the K6 I had around to quite a few rifles trying to find one I could get enough eye relief on. At the time, I didn't have any short action rifles but it did work fine on a couple of rimfires. It was disappointing because I liked the scope - very clear/bright view. I eventually sold it and now have a short action Kimber 257 Roberts that it probably would've worked on. Another thought where it might work well is on an AR of some flavor...
