Devnull,
Nice to hear I am not the only one who thinks the 4-14 x 50 FI's eye relief is too short. I brought up that fact here months ago and was condemned as a jerk who couldn't shoot a rifle properly. I even took the time to call Nightforce and talk to a tech about it. He yawned and said little. I suppose that 4-14 would be just fine for a 10 lb creedmoor. Certainly not a big magnum unless getting the Kaibab eye didn't concern you. (Col Jeff Cooper's term)
For those reading.
SHV 4-14 x 50 FI eye relief is 2.8" to 3.1"
SHV 3-10 x 42 eye relief is 3.5"
I took the 4-14 F1 off my 300 win (it’s heavy) and ordered a 3-15 nxs for it then put the 4-14 F1 on my 7wsm with a break. I am thinking that my heavy 6.5-284 will be the final resting spot for the SHV and the USO I have on order will sit on the wsm. I did not like the short eye relief for my 300 and it’s physically way to long for my wsm.
