If you get it for set right for 4x it will be WAY too short when set at 12x.

I saw this 30 years ago trying to find a good all around Coyote rifle scope and never owned another.Too bad as it is nearly the ideal power range.
Just like their 3x9 and 3.5 x 10 scopes , ( which are way better as to eye relief range) Leupold really has not changed that spec in all these years. The eye relief variance on the 4x12 still sucks.



It may be an issue for some but it has never been uncomfortable or awkward for me to slightly shift my cheek weld after a power increase. If I have time to turn the power selector,I have time to adjust my cheek.
