woah, take a chill pill LOL.
I have my scope pulled all the way back but leave maybe an 1/8" between the mount and turret. I figured that maybe the OAL of the stock was a bit much for him is all. Im 6'3 and CVA's 14" LOP fits me like a glove due to my long arms. Just was suggesting maybe to take a look at the stock instead. Pulling the recoil pad would show him if cutting the stock down would actually be a bigger benefit vs changing out mounts/rings.

I went with the base mount only because the stock cut on the optima may run into a problem trying to fit the recoil pad on since the mould for the screws are in the stock .I have cut many wood stocks for my LOP 13 1/2"
chop saw and a level only takes a few seconds but at least you can redrill the wood stock for the butt plate any were if needed.
I tried the mount you sent me and still they were to short to get enough eye relief from a 4" set up on the scope.
The above base mount has the rear mount just over the hammer housing and wit hthe off set weaver rings you can use any 4" eye relief set up
