Not really LR but I was after advice.
I want to mount a 2.3-8x32 extended eye reliefe scope on my .375H&H.
After playing around with two pistol scopes on handguns, I found them to be nothing short of crap, and they were both good quality scopes.
One Leupold 4x and a Nikon 2.5 - 8 or somthing.
The main problem was that they seemed to be very sensitive to sideways movement.
You could very easily loose the picture and it was hard to maintain the right distance for correct eye relief.
Now, I realize that mounted on a rifle things will be a lot more stable but what kind of success have people had with long eye reliefe scopes at higher mag (8x) on a rifle?
The scope I am eying off is the Leupold Vari-X 2.5-8x32mm Extended Eye Relief

It is supposed to be a handgun scope, which is now worrying to me since I had a look through some.
Eye reliefe is 45cm at all magnification, which is reassuring at least.
Any advice?
