I don't buy scopes often enough to have thought about eye-relief differences between brands and so when I bought my .300 Magnum 3 years ago, I put an Elite 3-9x40 on it. I've dinged my forehead maybe a dozen times since, although I've just about got myself trained not to do it anymore.

When it comes to scopes, I'm a "price point" shopper. Bushnell occupies a sweet spot between the Tasco, Simmons, and Burris lines on the low side and Nikon on the high side that is just right for me.

In spite of what I said above about not buying scopes often, I did buy an Elite 4-16x40 about 2 months ago, and liked it well enough to buy another just last week.
