What caliber is that rifle chambered for?

ILya

It has had a couple of thousand rounds of 7/08 and nearly 800 260's
I never even noticed how short the eye relief
Was til I read this thread
Sure enough it is about 2.5 inches
I love the scope and as I said it has been a favourite for over 10 years


I set-up that same exact scope on a friend's sporterized Mosin and also never had issues with eye relief.

I will try SWFA's scope on one of those as well. I am not awash in lightweight bolt guns and I do not own a 30-06, so I can't do that test. I do have a light-ish Mosin, so I can use that as a platform. Wth all that, I really think this scope was intended primarily for hunting ARs and I will start with it on there before I try it on a boltgun. That is where this configuration makes the most sense, I think. Why people assumed that this scope was meant for ultra light 30-06s is not clear to me.

Do you mind if I ask how heavy that rifle is? A buddy of mine is a huge 7-08 fan. He's been trying to convince to get one for a while now.

I'm not sure as I never weighed it , but it is definitely a
Lightweight, the stock is hollowed out and slimmed down as much as is possible and it has a 22 inch shillen no2 on it
