Weaver K6
Looking at the Classic K6 for my Weatrherby VG in 270. My concern is it has a short eye relief. I've read some reviews and when mounted on SA rifles it seems to be fine.
Compared to the Leupold FXII 6X36 its almost 1" less eye relief.
Any of you guys have experience with the Weaver on a long action?
The eye relief is my main concern, the glass gets good reviews as does the durability.

Especially, if you don't care about getting "scoped" !!!
Worth repeating..................................

Sheridan, I don't think youre comprehending what im asking. Of course I don't want to get scoped. I think I know enough to mount it far enough away from the eye not to get hit.
What im asking is with the shorter eye relief than the Leuppy is the tube long enough to get the proper adjustment.
Was hoping someone may have experience with the said scope on a LA rifle.

You are right that I don't know what you mean by saying;"is the tube long enough to get the proper adjustment"
Eye relief changes on a variable powered scope - more eye relief on low power & less eye relief on high power.
A fixed power scope has fixed eye relief.
One mounts a scope so they have a "full scope" all the way to the edge of the objective.
Eye relief is measured by that distance from ones eye to the ocular once one has a "full scope".
You may need to consider different rings to mount it "properly" - is that what you mean ?

Was hoping some one would have first hand experience w/ this scope on a LA.
Thanks Sheridan!
