Hi -
Looking for opinions on long eye relief scopes.
Most scopes have a 3 - 4" eye relief.
I'm looking for a variable power 2 - 6 X range for a .22 rimfire, with a
4-6" eye relief.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

What you really want is a so-called Intermediate Eye Relief model
(IER). There are a few models out there, I believe Leupold and/or
Burris peddles these, don't expect to find them on the shelf at Wal-
Mart. I ended up going with an NcStar model, off the table at a local
show, for a Scout mount on a lever gun. The others just didn't have
the combination of compactness, eye-relief and power range that I
wanted. Most everyone here retails sewer pipes for the elk hunters
that shoot from one mountain to another or the "tactical" types that
weigh a ton and can spot Saturn on a good night with knobs suitable
for changing channels. Nothing short, light and low-power, except the
chinks' stuff. The idea being that I could do a quick removal to use
the receiver sight when I wanted, a regular scope and mount would have
been a no-go, couldn't have both on at the same time. I've gotten
three deer with it so far, it's held up several years. I also went
with NcStar when I needed a compact variable for my .22. Perfectly
sized for a rimfire, but not enough eye-relief to suit you.
Hopefully your rimfire will have long enough grooves to properly
position whatever you get, the Scout mount had grooves half-way to the
barrel end.

Well, I don't see that many .22 rimfire shotguns so that eliminates that.

I shoot 6.5mm TC/U using a .223 opened up more in a pistol. Scope.
I shoot 357 in a pistol Scope.
My .22 Match rifle has a scope.
My 30-30 rifle has rings for a scope.
Rifle and pistols have long eye relief - some are short. You have to
do the spec check on every one.
