Not enough eye relief - Bushnell Trophy XLT 6-18x50mm Matte Multi-X Rifle Scope

I bought my Trophy XLT 6-18 from Opticsplanet on recommendation of a friend who said the Trophy XLT was a great scope. Well, it's not so great if you wear glasses. The eye relief is advertised at 3.5 inches. However in reality it is more like 2. I received a nice little cut on my forehead when I first shot it on my Savage .300 win mag. After that I was a little more conscious of sight picture and my forehead. The light transmission is not the best or even what I thought it would be. It fades-out near the edges and I can never seem to get it in sharp focus no matter the power or distance to the target. The lens caps were clearly intended for a higher mount than that which I first mounted on the gun. Got out my dremel grinder and trimmed off the excess on the front cap so it fits now. I'm a retired field artillery officer and I know what I'm talking about. I would not stake my life on the Trophy XLT.
