anyway, ive been looking at a lot of scopes at gander mountain and i find that without having my eye about 2-3 inches from the scope
anything less than 3" is very poor eye relief in my book, i own mostly leupold's but as james b mentioned i do have a simmons aetec 2.8X10X44 on my encore m/l'er barrel and i love it, i paid 140ish for mine, i have heard you can buy them on-line for around 120. i have had mine on the m/l'er barrel for 3 years and no complaints with plenty of eye relief
best of luck,
