im picking up my new tikka t3 lite stainless tomarrow with a nikon buckmasters silver shadow (i think thats what its called).

anyway, ive been looking at a lot of scopes at gander mountain and i find that without having my eye about 2-3 inches from the scope, i dont get the full field of vision. and im worried that with the kick of the 7mm, ill end up hittin myself in the eye unless i concentrate on really holding that gun in place. i want to beable to shoot rather comfortably and not have to worry about really packin the gun into my arm. is this normal? any suggestions?
