Hey y'all!
I am going to do a 'scout' scope mount and optic for my VZ-24 8mm Mauser, which has a minimum eye relief of 13" from the forward end of the opening in the receiver.
After having done some research on eye relief range vs. magnification, it looks like a BSA pistol scope is coming in as the top contender. It's a 2-7x28 with 12-20" of eye relief, billed at $78 at MidwayUSA.
The Simmons is a 11.8-17.6" eye relief fixed 4x power for $91 at Midway.
Anyone out there have any experience with these? I have actually had BSA pistol scopes come recommended. The scout scopes I'm seeing have a maximum eye relief of 10-13" instead of a minimum (meaning their variable magnification would be lost on me).
