Sorry to butt in, but is "dial scope" an established term now? If so, is it shorthand for "a scope with target/tactical turrets designed to allow users quickly to dial-in trajectory corrections", or does it mean something else? Can a scope that also has holdover points in its reticle qualify, or should we call that a "hybrid scope"? Is there such a thing as a "hold-off scope". I've nothing against handy terms for useful things, but sometimes I need a little help keeping up!
As for the OP, I suspect you have "too much scope", i.e. your PMII is has much more adjustment than you need for the kind of shooting you will probably be doing with a Sporting rifle (and more weight and less length). If so, maybe change the scope instead of the rifle. This would solve your eye-relief issue and give you a handier rifle into the bargain. Trade-in the S&B police/military sniper's scope for a scope by a company that specialises in hunting optics (e.g. Swarovski).
And once you have such a scope, set it up so that it comes naturally, comfortably and consistently to your eye when properly mounted in your shoulder. Don't worry about the moderator or trying to dial up so far the barrel gets in the way. That's a different game. No worse. No better. Just different.

or just do a 'glue and screw' job over the top of them.
