@Oneoldsap

I can't say I love that old AETEC, but it has been a reliable scope and you are right about the eye-relief being good. Normally that scope is on my lightweight 7mmRM. The one problem I had with it is that the tube is undersized and requires shims. I just use medical tape now, but before I realized the problem I tightened down the rings too much and pinched the scope tube. Still works like a champ though and it is as clear and tracks as well as any mid-range, inexpensive scope.
