Default 5" Eye Relief Scope

Anybody know of one made today?

The only scope I can think of is the original Simmons Aetec. They aren't made any more.

Looking for something in the 2-9x range or fixed. With a small bell out front.

Thanks

Tom

Thank BB. I wanted to stay away from Nikon but looks like it's the only quality optics out there making longer eye relief scopes.

Anyone else got anything for me?

Thanks

Tom

What weapon is the scope for? Leupy has several long ER handgun type scopes. The Zeiss Conquest 3-9 X 40 has a 4 inch ER (which is a lot for regular hunting rifles).

This is for a Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun. I put a 3.75" eye relief scope on there and it wasn't good enough I kissed my glasses a couple of times. So I went to EER Scope. I've come to the conclusion I don't like the scout set up at all, so now I want to go back to a traditional scope set up.

I may end up taking that Bushnell for a spin but I'm wondering if it will hold up.
