I agree, there are scopes out there with very little eye relief. They are not designed for heavy recoiling rifles and should not be placed on one. Eye relief is of grave importance if one values their eyesight. That scope that hits an eyebrow can easily hit lower and damage an eye. I for one do not have any scopes, even those on my .223 or 22LR that have less than a 4 inch eye relief. Even with proper eye relief if the rifle is not held correctly the scope can come back and hit the eye. Vision is precious, take care of it.
Lots of folks starting out make this mistake. Just stating a fact, that I would imagine, as mentioned here, lots of us have seen over the years. Take that lightweight Ruger for instance, holding it tight will still allow movement to the rear. The example I gave was a 220 to 230 lb gentleman who had been previosly shooting a 30/06. Not his first shooting session, yet the set up, lightweight, recoil and his technique yielded him a very nasty gash above his eye. This was 20 to 25 years ago when folks would use cheaper equipment because they were just deer hunting around my area. Just a fact that I myself have witnessed while shooting.I agree, there are scopes out there with very little eye relief.

Where can the SRP .308 brass be found?
no ware that i know of since Lapua made their announcement. Alpha, Peterson or Starline will be your best chance but even they are out of stock everywhere i have looked.
Thanks for the info. You just saved me some work
Try graf & son, Scheels. Powder Valley, Midway
Just looked on Graf & Sons. They have 260 Rem SRP brass in stock. You can expand the neck to .308 internal diameter or neck down to .243.
Got it to 2944 in 26" barrel. The 24" is next. Had to set up an Oehler to shoot from my garage as the spot I used the Lab Radar is snowed in. I should have results this week.
Graf and Sons has 260 peterson srp brass in stock now. Just looked. You can neck that up to 308 or down to 243. Lube necks with graphite if you decide to do that.
