I have a Swaro 1.25-4X scope mounted on a Ruger 77 Hawkeye in .375 Ruger. When I slide the scope back for a full view the scope bumps my eyeglasses with recoil. I've slid the scope forward sacrificing some view for some running room. Can the eye relief be adjusted at all? Thanks; Mike
Leave the gun, take the canolis.

Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

The answer is no, you move the scope to your preference.

Sounds like you need a longer LOP on that stock.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

You change eye relief by changing scopes. I tried a 3.5-10x40 VX-III on my 375 Ruger African, it would touch my brow so I went to a 3-9x40 Conquest on it and a 4x Conquest on the Alaskan. Works for me, YMMV.

Have you just been shooting it from a bench?
Even with the 375's, shooting from a bench you can get scope kiss pretty easy. If your plan is to take off hand or sticks shots, practice a little more like that after your sight in. You'll naturally rock back and off with the gun so there is less of a chance that scope will come right and knock you.
