Yeah I think you can get it where you need it and not be getting an eye full of scope.Just got off the phone with them and they said it would definitely handle the recoil but he said eye relief may be something to worry about. I wouldn't want me eye too close to that going off because that 835 kicks on both ends. Going to mess around with it this weekend and see if it's a possibility, otherwise he's saying red dot with a magnifier.
