For many years, I refused to believe that any 6X scope could be considered a practical, all around scope. Then I tried the 6X42 Leupold.
Their greatest asset isn't really their extra long eye relief. Or their very bright image. BTW, they work on the very darkest nights. Just make sure you have a heavy reticle that will too. Like any other 6X42 scope, they allow you to see roughly 6X further than you can with the unaided eye.
Their greatest atribute is their large eye box. I know to those that haven't done this, that makes no sense. That's because the "arm chair esperts" have long fed us this bussiness of FOV being the deciding factor when it comes to shooting quickly at running game. Not so. With four feet of FOV at 20 yds., anyone can point well enough to get that buck in the scope. But if the eye relief is critical, i.e. that means very little eye box, you can't acquire the image easily. That can cost you the shot, or if you have lots of it, make it very possible. E
