This happened to me YESTERDAY. I kid you not. A guy bought a Trijicon scope in some sort of PEPR mount and he told me when he mounted it, the reticle was upside down. I had him bring it by. Yup, it was all mounted backwards.....

Maybe he mounted it like that on purpose.
Just to get the scope back far enough to get good eye relief that fit his hold.
I have seen big guys with no necks and they have a hard time with scope position on a rifle.

My buddy has a scope on his AR same Nikon i have on mine 3-9x40 and he collapses his stock all the way and it fits him great.
I can't shoulder his gun and pull my head back far enough to get good eye position.
No neck big guy issue is the way i see it.

Decades ago I knew a guy (great guy) he told me, while serving in the Air Force, he told everyone he was from New York, because everybody knows where New York is, very few people know where Kaplan, Louisiana is, and he didn't really want to explain it. When someone says Ranger, (Robert Howard, Tom Hanks and Somalia come to my mind) -- Honestly never heard anyone say they where a Culinary or a Prime Power Specialist, I knew quite a few soldiers that held those jobs while I served in the Army, but haven't run into them in my travels -- or just maybe some of the people involved in the ad just repeated what they were told or someones full of crap!

I once met a guy who must've been the busiest son of a gun in Vietnam--used to be, just about every Vietnam Vet you met was a Ranger or LRRP or SEAL or Force Recon, but not this guy. Apparently, he was the only Motor T in South Vietnam, driving a Jeep around Saigon...
