So then you'll make assumptions on something you've never used before as if you have a clue... It has nothing to do with it being a NightForce... The SHV that Montana Marine linked has a 3.14-3.54" eye relief... All the SHV's have similar eye relief except the new SHV F1 which has 2.81-3.1" eye relief... So in your infinite wisdom the 1/3" difference is gonna get people hurt...

I'd worry more about your scope mounting technique, basic shooting skills and recoil management if you have any weapon moving 3" during a recoil impulse than I would about eye relief... Just because YOU had one tapping your glasses one time at band camp doesn't mean anything was wrong with the platform... The problem was more than likely in the shooter...
