What is the eye relief on this scope? Is it suitable for pistol application?

A quality product. Great price. They are really excellent on assault rifles! Eye relief is just right for me. Don't know the inches ... see vortex.com for specs. I wouldn't put it on a pistol, but it should be okay ... a little bulky I would imagine.

Well Paul this scope is not very heavy but it is quite big for a pistol application, they make a model called Sparc which is only 3 inches long and weighs 5.2 oz for $289.

Eye relief is 4.5", length is 6" You can put it on a pistol but its going to look large. Suitable for target shooting.

I bought this scope and its great the focus adjustment is from o to what seems like infinity....lol its great to aprox. 300 yards with no problem with the caliber drop compensation too.

I would say at least 6" eye relief, and you should be able to off set the scope enough to work. The solution is getting the bent bolt then you could get away with a 4" relief.

This scope does NOT have the extended eye relief necessary for a forward scout mount of the optic. It is designed for traditional rearward mount. At the lowest magnification 1.3X it has an eye relief of 4.1 inches (106 mm) and on maximum magnification 4X eye relief is 3.7 inches (84 mm). For the mount you want to do look at VX*R 1.5-5x33mm Scout FireDot. This scope have an eye relief between 6 and 7.1 inches and is designed for a forward mounting. Good luck and happy hunting :-)

eye relief is only 3.6 inches, according the description. But I don' t think you need 6 inches eye relief for your Mosin.

you are doing it right. the distance between your eyes and the end piece of the magnifier is what's called "eye relief". if you look into the eye piece closer, you'll get the bump in your eyes and might bruise it during firing (because of recoil). You'll have to train yourself for this to get used to it. Its the proper way. You're doing just fine.

Yes, I'm pleased with the scope. Be advised though it is mounted on a 17hmr rifle with low recoil! Just saying!

I answered yes by accident, No, this is definitely not a long eye relief scope. Check out the 7x powered one by AIM Sports. Works great, shot my first buck with it over the weekend.

The eye relief is the rubber piece that you look through on the scope. It's there to protect you from getting poked in the eye from a high recoil rifle. It can be removed. I don't know how else to mount it properly without a rail.

Depends on your setup but im pegging 3" groupings around 300 to 350ish yards with it on my core 15 5.56 depends also on if your piston driven or not. The red dot I find to be more for looks than functionality they way its mounted you cant really get a good view because the eye relief on the main scope is around 1.5" to 2" so ive got it locked in right at the back of my rail and the red dot is just to close but it dose function and it does hold zero even with 500+ rounds I've had no issues.

It is a small sight. I have it mounted on a 22 pistol. I have had no issues with my field of view in or outside the sight while using it. I would recommend it to anyone on the platform that use it on.

It may possibly work however there is no eye relief. You have to have your eye almost touching the scope

The eye relief is three inches. Most scope manufacturers will say if the scope you are looking at is a long eye relief scope, which is what you need when shooting the Ruger scout rifle. This same manufacturer has a long eye relief scope available. Shop around and find the one that you want. Try Cabelas, Midway, Sportsmans Guide and any of the other scope manufacturers. Hope this helps.

I mounted it to my .357 mag blackhawk and it is quite a nice scope. The scope has a long eye relief which works great for hand guns. The mosin nagant normaly has the scope mounted more forward where a longer eye relief is needed. Hope this helped

I've been very pleased with this scope mounted on my ar15. Eye relief hasn't been a problem.

unlimited eye relief. I have it mounted on a scout mount on a carbine and it works very well. extremely satisfied with that setup and my Aimpoint in general.

I have it mounted on an AR-15 and have it set for approximately 2 to 3 inch relief. Good scope but not appropriate for a hand gun.
