Which Leupold has more than 3.7" of eye relief? None of the VX3's do. They might have more at the low end of their magnification range but you have to set them up for the eye relief at max magnification because that is where the eye relief is more critical. What good is 4.5" eye relief if it is only present at 2x?

I don't know much about the Terra but, if it shares anything in common with the Conquest, it has much more constant eye relief than any VX3. I'd much rather 3 1/4" of constant eye relief across the entire range of magnification than the "somewhere between 3.5" and 4.5" " that Leupold offers.
