I have noticed that the Redfield Revolution has a nice eye box, but then again, it is made by Leupold.

Any other scopes out there have generous eye boxes?

Do most Leupolds have this feature, if not, which ones don't? I am in the market for a new scope and wanted to try something different, but I think I will end up back with Leupold.


The only turkey in the Leupold line regarding eye box, in my experience, is the VX-3 4.5x14x40, 1" tube. I positively hated this scope, couldn't get rid of it fast enough. In that range, the 3.5x10x40 is superb, as is the 2.5x8x36. The 6x36, 6x42, 4x33, VX-2 2x7 all have great eye relief and generous eye boxes (the latter I value highly, as it makes the scope very fast on moving targets).
