[QUOTE="WV Hitman, post: 3032816, member: 115208"] Guin4m, I've used the 3-12X Burris' so much I just automatically get my eye relief when I get behind the scope. I guess the secret is practice, practice...... I've done this so much that my eye relief doesn't change when I change powers, at least, that I can tell. I have more of a problem with rifle scopes getting my eye relief, plus I'm a little reluctant to get close to them due to my glasses. Again, just a matter of practice. I have the Burris on my "big" guns, .375/.284 XP, .338 MagJDJ Encore, .325 WSM XP. Even with breaks I'm reluctant to get 4" from the scopes. To me, the BPlex scope makes it so easy to get on game out to 550 yards without dialing, etc. that I never had a desire to change. I did a deer at 719 yds. with a friend's 7mmSAUM XP. He had to fool with calculations, dialing, it seemed like a while before I could shoot. I did a deer with my 6.5/.284 at 565 & a BPlex. All I did was range, place the right mark on the deer, and it died. Options for extreme long shots on game in WV are rare and all my big game hunts in the west and Africa never had the need to go really long, so I've stuck with the Burris handgun scopes plus UltraDots & 2-6 Bushnells on my revolvers.
