I'm primarily a Leupold user, but I get along with my 3-9x40 Conquest just fine. The trick with that one is to get it far enough away, it has a ton of eye relief. On a short action Rem 700 I have the scope forward so about a third of the adjustment housing is over the front receiver ring.

In my lineup the champs of "easy" eye relief are my 6x42 and 3.5-10x40 Leupolds and 3-9x42 Meopta.
