The Most Important Error the FBI told the Warren Commission about the Rifle

[Drew Phipps]

Thanks, Drew. Is this taking into account the measurement I found for diameter of the ocular end of the scope of 1.062 inches?

No, in the top down photo in your post the ocular end of the scope is not entirely in the picture and so my pixel counting software doesn't help. I can make a good guess about where the scope ends but my software can't count beyond the limits of the picture. So I used the 18 mm measurement at the objective end as a yardstick.

I spent some time looking for another top-down view or even a full frontal, or full rear view, with the stock included so I could calculate the angle the scope was offset to the vertical, which would give us a second measurement. The rear view picture that you found appears to be out of focus at the ocular end (which to my mind means it's significantly closer to the lens than the rest of the gun), and also it doesn't show the bottom of the stock, so I couldn't get a good vertical baseline for the angle.
