Shortest eye relief? Gray Ops vs Area 419

Which one piece scope mount would allow me to have the optic in the furthest rearward position (shortest eye relief) between the Gray Ops and Area 419? My small brain can’t figure it out because I think the area 419 rear ring hangs over the last mount bolt more but it appears to have less area between the rings? This is for a G3 6-36
 
If you want to be able to place the scope really far back the 419 mount or even the 419 mid cantilever and put it backwards. Depending on the action, the gray ops may take up most of if not the entire top rail.
 
I don’t need anything crazy far back. I currently have the gray ops but would like it a little further than I can get with this. I was hoping area 419 would give a little more but I don’t want to purchase it to find out I’m wrong
 
What rifle is it on? Seems odd you can’t get it back far enough with either mount. Here is the Area419 with a Gen III Razor on my Vudoo. Plenty of slots in the base to move back but no need with the eye relief.
