Durable sub $700 optic with great eye relief for long action m70

[Hunter270Win]

Looking for some advice I cannot find anything other than Leupold.

Duplex reticle preferred but doesn’t matter. I got a Burris FFII and it doesn’t have enough eye relief for me

Check out the Credo, Huron, and Accupoint series from Trijicon... particularly their 3×9s. Check Europtic for decent pricing.

Poor eye relief on the Huron

Poor eye relief on the Huron

I've got the Huron on my model 70 Winlite Featherweight in 270win. FWIW, I don't have any issues with the eye relief. YMMV.

Now discontinued Nikon slughunter/omega scopes had 5" eye relief and are rugged scopes that hold zero. You can find them used cheap.

Eye relief can be helped some by proper mounting. I don't normally like a pic rail set up as I prefer the cleaner look of Talley's etc. But I'm forced to use them when that mounting system won't allow proper mounting with my chosen scope.

What rings do you have if you don’t mind me asking?

I'm using Warne Vapor bases with low Vortex Precision Matched Rings. I think Seekins actually makes these rings.
