What Are The Best Long Eye Relief Scopes?
People have been hunting since the dawn of time and is currently a favourite past time for many veterans. However, as a hunter today, we have access to different equipment we didn’t have years ago.
When going out on that yearly hunting trip, you are going to take your rifle. And you will need a long eye relief scope for that as you know. No two hunters are the same, just like the different scopes available out there today. I am here to tell you about a few favourites from fellow hunters and shooters.
Take a look and see what may or may not work for you.
This scope is great when you’re hunting in low-light conditions such as early mornings and evenings.

This scope is made with only high-quality materials, built to last and completely water/fog proof.
Even with the worst eyesight, you’ll have no problem seeing any target with this beautifully made long eye relief scope. With the placement of the scope, you’ll hardly feel the recoil and be safe from getting hit by the scope.
This long eye relief scope is versatile and ready for anything, just like you and your rifle.
With a 9.45-inch eye relief and a 2-7x zoom range, this scope is lightweight, at just 12 oz., and won’t add too much to the weight of your scout rifle set up.

It’s made with a durable 1-inch aircraft-grade aluminium tube, so you know it’s built to last. You’ll be able to hunt in any condition because this scope is completely water/fog proof. You will find it quick to focus on your target.

Summary

With a little bit of research, you can really compare the differences among the scopes and find the one that works for you. However, when you are reading this, just be aware that what suit others may not suit you.
