Most scopes with 3.5" of eye relief usually result in a little stock crawling when I turn the magnification up. SWFA lists the ER @ 3.03" on the upper end. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the purchase but I am a little worried the eye relief may be an issue for me. I'm going to see if it works regardless, just wanted to know if anyone here had experience with this combo.

I don't have one on a M70, but I do have one on a Savage Weather Warior in 30 06. It is long action, and I have had no issues at all. But I tend to stay back a bit on all my scopess, so I never have a problem. Still, unless you have a habit of crawling right up on your scope, you should be just fine.


My 3-9x42 showed up today. I threw it on my M70 with some Talley LW lows I had on hand. Set up is perfect. No issues with eye relief. Looking forward to some range time now.
