Just to add my little bit... I have 3 of these scopes... They are really a decent scope.

Accu-range reticule

That should work nice on my Sig Sauer 522 rifle. I was going to go Leupold but this one might just be as good. I am not sure that I need the extra power settings but it will be fun to play with them and see how the rifle holds up. Thanks for the heads up.

Cabelas says 3.5" eye relief. That scope has at least 4.5" eye relief. I need to check that out.

I've always wanted to try one of the bullet drop compensating scopes but just don't have the need for it where I hunt. It sure would be fun to play with at the range though.

Heck of a deal though, thanks for the head's up.

Redfield says it has 3.5" as well. http://www.redfield.com/_media/downl...eld_3-9x42.pdf

I wonder if its 3.5" on 9X and over 4" on 3X. Relief on cheaper scopes often changes with magnification. Even most highend scopes have atleast some variation when changing magnification.

Sabotloader,
Didn't you order one for me a year or so ago? Is this the same scope??
