I am running a Trijicon thermal IR Hunter Mark3-60mm which is good on a semi-auto but, on my short action bolt action rifle has to be set too far forward in order to cycle the bolt.

After speaking with Trijicon, I was recommended the Trijicon AC12043 mount which will fit my thermal after requesting an eye shutter that was 1.5" longer than stock. Does anyone have this mount that can confirm how much eye relief is changed with it versus a normal mount? Any concerns with the weight of my thermal?

Or, does Larue or someone else make a cantilever mount that might be better for my application?

TIA,
Sid
