Sir Roo, I liked the NXS 1-4x24mm except I read it weighs 17 ounces and has ER of 3.5" max ? I could make that work, however. No scope has ever made me bleed. Knock wood. I just mount them forward and make do with the tunnel vision, assuming it helps me reduce parallax when I get the tunnel centered. The old Nikon 3-9x40mm shotgun scopes had 5" ER and weighed 15.2 ounces. You pay for the increased eye relief with decreased FOV, about same as the tunnel vision with a short eye relief scope. I can make do.
I don't remember the eye relief, but 3.5 does seem short. I'm checking with a friend there since I recall that the scope was designed as a DG scope originally. Mine weighs 16 oz, so no question it is heavier than my other options, but my Mauser 458WM is not designed to be as light as possible. I just mount everything for correct eye relief and then hold on! Haven't been hit yet, fingers crossed!
