Eye Relief

[Deo101]

Can anyone recommend a good lower end scope with a lot of eye relief? I'm willing to spend about $300 bucks but it seems like this is always an issue for me. Also with new recoil pad my current "Vortex Crossfire" scope is coming way to close. Was thinking about giving a hawke a go....???

Leupold scopes are considered to have more eye relief than most.

Their entry level VX-1 3-9x40 has 3.7" to 4.2" of eye relief depending on magnification setting, and can be had for just over $300.

Their Redfield line is less expensive and would have comparable eye relief.

Thanks. Didn't realize Redfield was a lower line of Leupold...I may look into Redfields.

Just checked the Redfield specs for their Revolution 3-9x40:
same eye relief as the equivalent Leupold, weighs 12.6 oz.
Warranty is comparable to Leupold, service right here in Okotoks.
