Its about 3.5 inch eye relief for me (slightly shortsighted) it's a compromise because of the pod , try to use the pod as much as possible for hunting(stable platform) and it's pretty close standing...just suits me i guess....tried one of the other scopes I have first a 1.75x5x32 bushnell ultra HD which I thought with it's compact dimension's would be perfect but I just couldn't get the eyebell far enough back so I ended up putting the 3x9x40 bushnell banner scope I had earmarked for the new air rifle on it...am a large physical specimen at 6ft 3inches tall 19st long arms big feet, long legs I guess we're all different...I usually have to crane my neck to shoot somebody else's scoped gun...the upside is I've only ever been scoped once(.300 win mag)
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
