[QUOTE="Brent, post: 15766, member: 99"] DWM, I have a Leupold 12-40 spotter, LOTS of eye relief! Compare them for yourself before you buy. I'll measure them tomarrow when it's light out on 12 and 40 power to give you an idea. I gave my brother my old Burris Signiture spotter, it was sweet, but talk about having to have your eye ten times closer to see through it!
