Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace eye relief

[valmet76]

Can somebody explain to me why these scopes are so sensitive to eye relief and head position?

I have a 4-14 Falcon and unless you position your head perfectly, you can't see through it at all.

My USO and S&B do not have this problem, they are much more forgiving.

Edit to add, I don't think this is just a "you get what you pay for" issue because I have a $100 Sightron rimfire 3-9 and it's not like that either.

I haven't noticed any problems like that with mine.

Mine is perhaps a little less forgiving than other scopes I've owned, but I would not describe it nearly as poorly as yours seems to be.

My Wonder Optics 4-14 is like that.. Im guessing just poor design
