Anyone running a Schmidt and bender 6x42 on a hard kicker?
Have a 6x42 that I might drop on a .375 talkeetna. Not that a .375 is that bad in the recoil department. Anyways the rifle is fairly light and the eye relief is only 3.27. I'm not a stock crawler but am slight of build and big guns do move me around a fair bit lol. Just trying to avoid another half moon scar.....love the scope but wish it had more eye relief.


I'm what you call your basic famous.

I recently took a look thru one of these, and was not at all impressed. Not great glass, narrow field of view, tunnel feel.

Not what i would want on a hard kicker.

I like your choice of rifle. I hear they shoot really well. How many rounds does it hold?

From experience, if in doubt about eye relief, it's not enough. It's the doubt that affects the shot more than anything if that's what you are thinking about.
