eye relief


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i am looking for new rifle 3-9x40 scope for mostly deer hunting. I need eye relief close to 4" since my 30.06 does kick a bit and current bushnell is pretty old and i have to get my eyes too close.

Other than reading the scope company's websites & optics reviews of each , can you let me know what your own field experience has been? that sometimes goes further than what the company specs state on a spec sheet.. leaning toward Leupold VXII price range less than 300..any thoughts ? thanks

Can't beat Leupold, and made in America to boot!!!

I've never gotten a bad Bushnell scope, if you're looking to buy something lower end.

No comment on eye-relief...anyone who shoots or hunts often enough is bound to get a crescent-shaped gash in the forehead sooner or later. :banghead:

I can recall at least FOUR times standing there, blood dripping off the end of my nose, feeling like a DUMBCHIT...hehehehe...

My experience with scopes has been limited: Leupold...Burris...Bushnell...and Tasco. Frankly, I can tell little difference between them. I think I like the Burris Compact (a true compact) on my Remington Model Seven about the best. Fortunately, no scars yet....but, then, I always get as great an eye relief as I can.
