I was just kind of busting you balls. It depends on the weight of the rifle, style of stock, muzzle break, etc. I suppose. I don't have much experience with heavy recoiling calibers but I would imagine you'd want no less than three inches and at least four would be preferable. Good luck!
Eye relief is a bit of a shell game. While some scopes have very specific eye relief, others have a considerable amount of non-critical eye relief so even if only rated at 3.5"....the non-critical eye relief may be 3-4" or more. With that said, I'd look for something in the 3.5 inch range on a bigbore. I'd prefer a rubber leading edge on the eye piece as well...lol

A fixed power might be something to look at. Often more forgiving in the eye relief dept. 
Creeping up the stock for a proper view when u turn up the power at the range when the rifle is benched is asking for trouble.
