5" Eye Relief Scope
Anybody know of one made today?
The only scope I can think of is the original Simmons Aetec. They aren't made any more. Looking for something in the 2-9x range or fixed. With a small bell out front. Thanks Tom |

Thank BB. I wanted to stay away from Nikon but looks like it's the only quality optics out there making longer eye relief scopes.
Anyone else got anything for me? Thanks Tom |

What weapon is the scope for? Leupy has several long ER handgun type scopes. The Zeiss Conquest 3-9 X 40 has a 4 inch ER (which is a lot for regular hunting rifles).

This is for a Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun. I put a 3.75" eye relief scope on there and it wasn't good enough I kissed my glasses a couple of times. So I went to EER Scope. I've come to the conclusion I don't like the scout set up at all, so now I want to go back to a traditional scope set up.
I may end up taking that Bushnell for a spin but I'm wondering if it will hold up. Tom |
Thanks RR.
Before I say this, I just want to let you know that I do own a few expensive pieces of glass. With that said, I think I'm done buying expensive glass unless I go way up to the top. Essentially unless I'm at the minimum of Ziess I'm going way to the bottom. The VX-3 is $400. In my opinion Leupold is starting to price their warranty far too heavily. I have simmons scopes that have better low light and better optical clarity than my Leupold scopes. Even my Nikon has better optical clarity but not better low light than the Leupolds that I have. I think I'm going to buy that Bushnell Banner and give it a whirl. I used to own one at it was very respectable for a $150 scope. The one I listed above is $70. Tom |
