[QUOTE="CHRIS WILSON, post: 4843755, member: 2609"] Picked up a Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 not long ago for my CVA Scout V2. My other rifles have either Nikon or Redfield optics but since Nikon is getting out of the rifle scope business, I wanted to give Vortex a try. I really do like the glass and Vortex's MOA BDC reticle. I mounted it using the Durasight base that came with the Scout and could not get the scope mounted far enough back for a decent field of view. Ended up having to order a Pic rail that extended a little further back and partially overlapped the receiver on the Scout. I couldn't believe how far back I ended up having to mount that Vortex. This is my first Vortex scope and I'm just wondering is this common for the brand to have such short eye relief? The specifications online list the eye relief at 3.1" for that model. Didn't realize it was that short. [/QUOTE]
