[QUOTE="B-P-UU, post: 851244, member: 29114"] Hunter02, try an experiment for me.. with your PST at 6x, slide your head back on your stock as far as you can while still maintaining a full sight picture. Once you reach the point where your sight picture starts to 'black out' on the edges, stop (this is the max eye relief). Now, with your head in the same position as stated above, run your scope through the magnification range. You will notice your sight picture start to black out as you increase the zoom. In order to get a full sight picture again at max zoom (24x), you would have to slide your head/eye forward on the stock towards the ocular lense. As SideCarFlip was implying, this happens with all scopes. You just don't notice on your particular setup since your scope is setup such that your head/eye is in an optimal position (full sight picture throughout the magnification range). [/QUOTE]
