Wouldn't it be nice if someone made a long eye relief scope for doubles? About an extra 2" so end of scope was over or just a little ahead of the end of the barrels.

A South African company, "Lynx" gets scopes made in Japan which are about the same quality as Leupold but about half the price and one scope they make is a long eye relief 4x - alloy tube, 1". The cost is a slight decrease in field of view.

I've got a real rough (eg wrist broken and held together by wrapping in fibreglass cloth covered with leather) Cogswell and Harrison extractor rechambered from 375 2 1/2" to 375 H&H Flanged and re regulated by Vic Pederson. I got it real cheap. I've mounted a Lynx extended eye relief 4x on a Weaver rail and it is faster to access the chambers to extract fired shells and reload compared to my other scoped doubles which have ejectors.

If only Swarovski would make a 1-4x28 (the ocular may as well be the same size as the objective as you can only mount as low as the ocular in this situation) I think it would be the perfect Dr/drilling scope.

In terms of standard scopes I love my 1.5-6x42 30mm Swarovskis but they are big and heavy.
