It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

the scope is a pentax gameseeker 4-12x40. And its mounted on silver weaver bases and tall weaver scope rings.  I would guesss its somewhere in the ballpark of 13 pounds after i mounted the brick of a bipod ! :yike:

A scope with a 3" eye relief on an Ultramag?!  You're in for a lot of headaches... bring a good first aid kit!!!   :yike:

I'm thinkin that if you call tech support, the barrel deresonator should be somewhere near mid shaft.. Not so close to the muzzle.

i read on the package and it said for floated barrels it should be 3/4 of an inch from the muzzle. and for non floated barrels it should be closer to the stock. it looked a little goofy to me being so close to the muzzle, but i guess thats how its supposed to be   :dunno:

And straight shooter, i  was a little skeptical of buying the scope for that reason alone, but it actually has better eye relief than the specs say. i shouldnt have any problems with eye relief.....but if i do, i'll be kicking myself for it  :chuckle:

I'll bet that eye relief won't be a problem. 13# should be enough to make that pretty comfortable to shoot. Just watch out when shooting prone. :chuckle:
