There are some harsh lessons best learned through the experience of others.
Don't shorten your eye relief. Set your rifle up to give you full field of view ,but with the scope as far from your eye as practical.
Especially if your rifle has significant recoil.
It happens too often that the eyepiece of the scope makes a nasty cut around the shooters eye. Yes,at 16 yrs old I intended to buy a 270 but the one in stock had a feeding issue, so I took home a 7mm Rem Mag. And I bought a cheap scope with minimal eye relief.
And,like you, I had things to learn.
Not only did I break my glasses and cut my eyebrow,
I was left with a case of the "flinch" that was hard to shake.
