Other than Leupold what other brands on average are known to have a lot of eye relief?

definetly the Swarovski Z6 line with 95mm (3,75 inch) or the s Z6(i) 1-6x24 EE with 120mm (4,7 inch) eye relief...



I guess that is more then any Zeiss could deliver... Eeker


life is too short for not having the best equipment You could buy...

The Zeiss Conquests in 4x32, and 3-9x40 both have 4" of eye relief. That eye relief of these two fine scopes was the main reason I bought the two of them.

Yes, exactly four inches -- no more, no less. One of the drawbacks to many of the European (or European-designed) scopes is that the eye relief is very critical, meaning that in order to see the sight picture your eye must be placed precisely. Kinda negates the value of longer eye relief.
