You'll need at least 8 maybe 9" of eye relief.
My Chiappa is an 1892 clone so you'll need to be infront of the ejection point.
I find it helps a lot.

The model 12 in great, I own one. But I would say maybe get a more modern one. A second hand mossberg 500 won't devalue that much and there are so many parts it will do virtually anything for you.

Interesting option for an 1895. The guy who owns this 1895 is Finnish and I think it is chambered in 7.62x53r https://i.imgur.com/2odQxcL.jpg It's a custom mount for an Aimpoint H-1 (2?) that fits in the rear right block.
