This may sound like a simple question, but....

Im thinking of getting a scope with longer eye relief to put on my slug gun. If it states that the eye relief is 6", does that mean that anything UP TO 6" is clear? Or does that mean it HAS to be mounted further out. Here is my situation, Im finding that even mounting my scope as far back in the rings as possible, Im finding myself having to creep my face forward toward the eyepiece to get a good picture. Obviously on my slug gun, this is a touchy situation getting that close! I was thinking that if I got one with more relief distance, I could keep my cheek in the normal spot on the stock and get a good picture but it wont be WAY forward like on a lever gun or something.

Hope this makes sense what Im saying...
