It really depends on the weight of the gun, my 500 Jeffery weighs about 12 lbs, loaded with scope and sling. A 458 Lott 3 pounds lighter than that would probably recoil harder.

http://www.realguns.com/articles/218.htm article on the Bushnell Elite 6500 in 1.5-8x32. As described in MarineHawk's post ~6" eye relief. That base and triple ring setup on the Weatherby is interesting.

I have used a Leupold VariX3 1.5 - 5 power on a .458 Win Mag for 15 years with never a problem. Most clients that get 'scope eye' is as a result of the shooting sticks being set up too low so that the client has to stoop or hunch over the rifle to see through the scope! This alters the angle of your head and brings the forehead closer even though the eye relief is (sorta) fine! The same applies to using a shooting bench that's too low! That combined with calibers that are way more than are generally used for deer make for a good scope eye!
