The first two scopes I purchased were a Sightron and a Millett. I think both of them had a short eye relief. As they almost always hit the bill of my hat. And a few times got "close" to me. They were excellent scopes thought. Tough as nails and very accurate. I sold them both. I went to a Bushnell Dusk to Dawn, then Nikon's, then more Bushnell's, and then Simmons. Now I am on this PowderHorn kick. Maybe its time for me to look at a high end Leupold. But I would feel guilty treating one rifle so well over all the others.
