I was hoping to use a variable scope of low magnification, 2-7 kind of thing, but I need 8.5 inches of eye relief for this to work.

I was going to go with a Zeiss Conquest but that does not give me the eye relief I need.

Do you think the Leupold scout scope would hold up under the recoil of a 9.3x74R? I phoned Leupold Tech support and they assured me the scope would hold up. I dunno, it's a very light scope.

Happy New Year,
