I have a model 70 Win in 338 win mag. It is Serial number G19XXXXX.

I am thinking of installing an extended eye relief scope on it. Something like the Scout rifle system.

I would like your thoughts.
1) Is it feasible without major modification.
2) What type mounts do you recommend.
3) Type scope.
4) Range will be 300 yards or less.

I love the rifle. It fits me. I have a 1.5 to 2 inch drop in my shoulder. Unfortunately, due to shoulder injuries I cannot shoot full factory ammo. I am developing loads which reduce the recoil but still make use of the big bullet.

Thanks for your help.
