So along those lines I was looking at the Bushnell trophy and banner series. I have some trophy XLT 8x32mm binocs that I love. Anyone used any of the rifle scopes? Their long eye relief of 6" 3-9x40mm is around $80-90, but then I'd need scope covers to add another $10 or so. I found a trophy XLT that is $100-110 with a claimed 4" of eye relief and it comes with butler creek flip up covers.
Thoughts? It is for mounting on a Sako .308 and I have no friggen idea how much eye relief is sufficient for an 8lbs rifle including scope with a .308 on it. Most 3-9x40mm scopes seem to be 3.3-4" of eye relief, more seems better...but is there such a thing as too much eye relief?
