The long eye relief might not work out the best with all bases/rings but at least you can remedy that on most guns. Longer Picatinny rail type bases can make it much easier if they make one for your gun. MIL-STD-1913 standard type make ring options huge and are usually better made. Weaver spec rings will usually fit MIL spec bases but not vice versa.
This rail should fit and give you a lot of options for spacing and relief.

Thats a good price on the 40. I bought the DNZ EEF for my Omega 3x9x40 this year and love that new mount. I took the weaver rings and moved them over to the H@R for the new Nikon 1.5.
I have always been impressed with Nikon.
Whats cool about the new scopes is that as it gets darker the lines become darker. Some kind of trick with the reticule. It goes from a light golden cross hair to a black dense line.
I also mounted one on my crossbow. Looks sweet on there to.
