Hey all, I'm getting pretty close to buying a "no-gunsmithing" scope mount for Miss Kaysa (1896 Swede Mauser) so that I can hunt with it (yeah - I know the iron sights are fine, but my eyes even at 27 are not what they were at 8). I've looked at Leupold, Burris, and Redfield LER scopes on Ebay, but the concern I have is that I don't always know exactly what the eye relief is on most of those scopes, so it's hard to tell if they'll work on a mil-surp. I've seen the NC-Star scopes on Ebay as well, but they're so low in price that I question if they're worth getting from a quality (optics and ruggedness) perspective.
For those of you who have used LER scopes on mil-surp rifles, which of the scopes have you found to be the best (or at least acceptable) in terms having appropriate eye relief, optical quality, ruggedness, and value for the dollars spent.
Edit: Mods, if this would be better off in Rifle Country feel free to move it there.
