I get wanting the smaller bell but the K4 is a pretty svelte little scope. I have a 2-7x32 on my 10/22 and while it has grown on me, I did feel it looked a bit brickish at first.

The K4 has no power knob which also keeps it looking sleeker.

Eye relief: 3" - 4.25" (possibly up to 4.5"), 3.25" @ 5x, 3.5" @ 4x.


Mine showed up yesterday. Your measurements look correct. I measured from the face of the rear lense, inset about 3/8", and got over 4" at 2.5 and just over 3 at 7. Very nice little scope, made in Japan, btw. They're back up to $149 now, but I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for another sale.

It's much trimmer and a good bit lighter than my Hawkes that cost almost the same. Another bonus for this old fatso is that there are enough threads on the eyepiece so I can do without glasses in the field. Very fine threads too.
