Default RE: What Scope?

Pawildman, You can get a number of scopes with good eye relief from Leupold and Bushnell among others but Bushnell has the Banner Cantilever 1.75-4 x 32 with a 6” eye relief. Leupold also has some shotgun scopes in the 1-4 and 2-7 power with 3.8 to 4.9 of eye relief in there scopes. I have no experience in either brands as far as shotgun scope although I did look at the Bushnell Banner Cantilever and it looked pretty good in the store that is.

Now I do have the Nikon Monarch Gold 1.5-6 x 42 mm with a constant 4” eye relief that I use on my Winchester 1300 Black Shadow shotgun. This scope is probably more then what you would like to spend but it’s an excellent scope. It’s a solid scope with excellent glass for dusk or dawn use. I’ve used it for 2 years with no regrets. This Nikon is designed for rifle use and the parallax is probably set for a little farther then shotgun scopes but I’ve had no problems.

I also would have to agree with James on the Aetec with 5” of eye relief although mine is sitting idol for the time being, waiting for a rifle. Good luck in your hunt for a new scope.
