Eye relief on handgun scopes.

[Justin Smitty Smith]

I was wondering if there is a noticeable difference in the eye relief of a 1.5-5x Burris compared to a 2-7 Burris?  How do the T/C scopes compare?

I have a 1.5x4 and 2x7 Burris and would say that you won't notice much difference in eye relief up to 4x.  However, the 2x7 loses eye relief and FOV over 4x pretty quickly.  I like the 1.5x4 for hunting, but it is a longer body scope than the 2x7.  I like the compactness of the 2x7.

You might check the link below for Burris' specs.
I don't own a TC scope, but people on this forum seem to like them.

Hope this helps.

Along the lines of Justin's question, the forum REALLY likes the 4-12X32 Burris and I started looking for them, how do its eye relief change, that is my big problem.  I had a Simmons, not Burris I know but an adjustabe pistol scope, and its eye relief change w/ increasing power was drastic.

What about the Bushnell 3200 that have constant eye relief.  Anybody use those?
