There is nothing to debate. Bushnell states minimum eye relief. Accept the facts and move on.

BTW, this bussiness of "my theory" about ocular size and eye relief affecting apparent brightness is something Barsness has discovered, not me. If you wish to debate it's validity, take it up with him. E The Business about ocular size was something JB pointed out to you a few weeks ago - basically him correcting you that another variable comes into play and causes a scope to be brighter. Now the reason he pointed this out was to correct you. Go test scopes and come back to us, until then your opinion continues to be worthless.

I've got an MPI Kevlar stocked M70 Fwt. in .308. Currently it wears an older Leupold 4X. A more reliable, light scope, I can not discover.
I am seriously considering a few modifications to the rifle. Either a new, fully multicoated 4X, or the 6X36 Leupold are on my list.
The only significate difference between the Bushnell Elites and the Leupolds are their heavier weight, and shorter eye relif/eye box of the Elites. Weight savings are prefered for those that walk and climb alot. A larger eye box is prefered by those of us that have to make a running shot at times. On the other hand, the shorter eye relief of the elites will make the scope's image a bit brighter.
The Conquest series has the advantage of a somewhat brighter appearing image for a couple of reasons, depending on the model. E The Elite in question here weighs 13 oz's. The Leupold 6x42 weighs 15 oz's The Leupold 4x33 weighs approx.10 oz's. If 3 ounces weighs you down you need to do a little more exercise. Regards, Roy

VX-III 2.5-8 or VX-II 2-7. No real difference optically that I can tell. The III has a longer tube, the II might require rev f & R, but is a great scope for the $$$.
Brad what kind of bottom metal is that???
