You may want to consider swapping that out with another scope with lower magnification, or getting an adjustable stock to get a solid cheek weld and your eye up to the level of the scope. I would be concerned about eye relief and accuracy and having a solid consistent mount when you bring the rifle up, at anything much higher than that scopes lowest setting. It may work great for you, that has just been my personal experience.

Forgot to say, it is a kick ass rifle and scope. :drool:
