Great eye relief! 5" to be exact. Absolutely crap reticle for any type of heavy cover hunting or low light situation.....which is almost all the time in muzzleloader season her in Ontario. The circles are very thin and difficult to see against a deer at any distance, specially 200 yards. Do your self a favour and buy a Leupold VXI or VXII in a 2-7x33 and duplex or LR Duplex reticle. You get the needed eye relief, quality scope with a lifetime warrantee they stand by and a reticle thats proven! I looked at one in Dallas when I was down at Thanksgiving and handed it right back to the clerk. Just not applicable for the hunting I've done here in the cedar swamps, Hardwood ridges or the clear cut hydro right aways. Too much going on in your line of sight.
