Happy New Year One and All:

The continuing saga of my Antonio Zoli DR has taken another step forward. I have finally obtained a box of factory ammo used to regulate my DR.

Now for the next step, I mounted bases and rings on the rifle and was using a Leupold 2x 20mm objective pistol scope with fine cross-hairs. I don't like it and want to change to another scope.

For the scope to work I need somthing with 8.5 inches of eye relief with a one inch tube. Has anyone had experience with the Leupold FX-II Scout Rifle Scope 2.5x 28mm Intermediate Eye Relief Duplex Reticle Matte?

Does anyone know of any other scopes with an 8.5 inch eye relief that will work.

If I go with the Leupold, I was going to send it back to the factory and have a German #4 reticle installed. Comments please.

By the way, I am using the rifle to hunt deer and moose in the woods of Northern Alberta; and when the house and the cottage are paid for, I am going to Afrika to hunt Cape Buff and plains game.

Kindest regards,

Carpediem
