If your scope hits you on the face somewhere, you have it mounted too far to the rear. You need to move it forward, so there's NO CHANCE of it hitting you when you fire.
Nope, it's just fine. See, I hadn't fired a high-powered rifle in 2 years at this point, except a 22-250, and with the 22-250, you can put your fist under the forearm, and that'll work.
However, I did that with the .308, and you can't put your fist under the forearm of the .308, you have to actually hold it, otherwise the scope will hit you.
I learned this the hard way, but now I know that I need to hold the fore-arm, and that I can't put my fist under it.
What happened to me could have happened with any rifle in the.30 calrange out there, and also a fair amount of .20s.
