With the loopy M8 that I got for it, it is very marginally too far forward as it is a little short in the scope body on that model scope.
Too close to get too cranky about it and i have another scope to try out on it but still to do it.
As RS has suggested Talleys might be the go, never used them myself but they would have the potential to be reversed to get things in the right pozzy

I found 3 different lengths of M8 4X the one I kept is the longest and oldest and in certain lights has redish/purpleish tinge to the coating on outside off top of head its over 300mm long,gives a longer scope barrel for mounting options and also has larger rear eye box.
