Scope "Eyebox" - Leup's vrs Euros
      03/08/11 12:44 PM

Hello Guys

I'm looking for a scope to go on a custom Mauser Kurz 250-3000 that will be my "go-to" mountain rifle, so I want light and compact. Currenly I'm leaning towards a straight 4x rather than a varipower. I do want it to have an objective bell for no other reason than "it looks right to me".

Down here at our end on NZ I can try most Leupold models. However apart from Kahles no local retailers stock the Euro's, and certainly no 4x models.

One feature of Leaupolds generally is the degree of freedom of the eyebox. I don't know if this is the right term but to me it means that you have some flexibility as to where you place your eye within the eye relief (of which I don't need much for a 250-3000). This feature is pretty usefull for our NZ style of hunting where many opportunities have to be taken offhand, usually at a difficult up or downhill angle.

Can anyone tell me if the current range of euro scopes (S & B, Swaro, Zeiss or other top end scopes) are different in respect to the eyebox from Leupold's ?

Thanks - Foster
