Jgun Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 I was wondering, If I were to replace the adjustable power scope on one of my guns with a fixed power of 10X or less, wold the fixed power be less sensitive to eye relief? Is the narrow eye relief range a product of the magnification or is it brand or type dependent? I see that Trijicon has a 6X ACOG. Do any members have one? Can anyone recommend a fixed power scope in the 6X to 10X range that is forgiving with regards to eye relief?
bgc Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 The only forgiving scopes I know of are red dots, like the Vortex Strike, but only 3x. I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical 6x24(?) FFP that has quite a long eye relief to it. Most manufactures have the eye relief length listed in the specifications.
Jgun Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Posted June 4, 2011 Are you talking about 6 to 24 power or 6X24? I took a look on Bushnell's site and only find the 6-24X40 and 6-24X50 tactical. Which do you have and how do you like it?
bgc Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 I couldn't remember the last number. Its the 6-24X50 Tactical.I really like the scope, great glass and a generous eye relief. The rifle previously had a Vortex that poped me in the scull twice.
Jgun Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Posted June 5, 2011 I was looking at the ACOG 6X48, but it's almost 2 lbs, besides being crazy expensive. I think figuring out glass for these guns is harder for me than any other component choices.
