Rifle Scopes Scope Eye Relief Question Vortex FFP 6-24X50

[Deltahedge365]

Hello folks, for those of you who have used a vortex viper PST FFP 6-24X50, did you notice a very finicky eye relief while at max zoom? I'll be the first to admit that I don't have hundreds of hours behind the scope, but I have a very hard time finding the proper eye relief. It seems if I move my head 0.01", I am out of the sweet-spot. I haven't had this problem with scopes I've used in the past, but the max zoom I have looked through previously was about 12X.

I mounted the scope myself, should I try mounting it again?

Just as a test try moving the scope back towards (the buttstock)just a little at a time as a test and see if eye relief gets better? Some times we can set the scope to far forward and cause a finicky eye relief.
I have a PST 6-24x50 and don't seem to have the usual problems related to bad eye relief? FWIW?

purchased one for my 308 last fall. during a comp i'll zoom out to spot for my partner and haven't noticed much differnce between low and high power. you may have the scope set to far forward like uncledog suggested. Leupold scopes have a lot more problems when it comes to eye relief. I had a 4-20 long range leupold and it had horrible eye relief

Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try moving the scope back to see if it gets better.
