I like the concept of the SS 2.5-10x32 Ultralight & I especially like the small ocular bell diameter that allows low mounting on bolt action rifles w/ a high bolt lift. I have several rifles where I think this scope would work out extremely well except that I can't live with the extremely short eye relief.
Given the trade off between eye relief & field of view in scope design I do not understand why most scope makers sacrifice eye relief to gain maximum possible field of view & it's even more difficult to understand in a 2.5-10 variable where you can gain all the FOV one will ever need by backing the power down (47.2 ft @ 2.5x at 100 yds for this scope). In 50+ years of using rifle scopes a large FOV has always been well below having a minimum of 3.5" of eye relief in my list of priorities for choosing a rifle scope.
