Might take a look at the Redfield Revenge - I have a 3x9x42 with an Accu-Ranger reticule - So far it has been outstanding and I think the $40 off cupon from Redfield is still available...

Your question about 3.5" eye reliief - and remember that is at the highest power and gets a little bit longer as you reduce the power.
Personally 3.5 is easily good for me but that does not mean it is easily good for everybody...
