5" - that kinda sounds like a pistol scope... I tried one of those long eye reliefs once and i could not get used to it in the woods to much light between me and the scope or shawdows somwthing really seem to bother me a bit in the bright/dim light of a timber canopy. Once you got use to it suppose it would be OK

I guess i am just to use to the other... I shoot mostly Bushnell Elite 3200's with a relief of 3.3" - I think I now have 4 of them on ML's and one on my Tikka 300 win mag. The other scopes I have are leupold and swift - think they are about the same.
