I ran the numbers on scope tube lengths and eye relief. For a long action Leupold VX-2 3x9x40mm, VX-3 3.5x10x40mm, FX-2 3x36, and FX-3 6x42 scopes work best for me. I don't like having to lean my head forward to get the proper alignment. I mount my scopes so I'm looking through them naturally instead of having to move my head to get a proper sight picture. YMMV
