RE: scope coming back and hitting you in the face
Boy wish I had the answer EVER time my dad grabs my 300 win he gets a new ring around his eye. He allso did it with my 308 and 3006. I would say it is all in gun placement on your sholder and the scope mounting spot.I have never scoped my eye yet knock knock. DAd did not every do this with his guns just mine.
I would reposition you scope.
