Rifle Scopes Help please with IOR 3-18x42 Gen4 measurements

[Jericho941]

I am set on getting this scope, but I can't find any measurements from the mag ring to the turret housing, or from the front of the mag ring to the rear of the scope.

IOR's web site didn't have them and neither did any of the vendors who's websites I visited.

Dimensions would be nice so that I can figure out if I need to replace my current base to get proper eye relief.

Thanks

Thankyou for those measurements Bob.

It looks like I'll have to get the extended EGW base. I don't think I'll have enough eye relief otherwise.

Once again, thanks for those measurements.

I've considered one of these for an FNAR and am a bit hung up on dimensions as well, but an extended base isn't an option with this rifle. I can adjust length of pull to get my eye closer if need be, but would rather not. Anyone put one on an FNAR?

Not on a FNAR, but here is one on a AR10:

In fact there are three 3-18's shown.

Please stop calling this a SH scope -- this was a member project and had nothing to do with Sniper's Hide the website. If you look on their page they are not calling it that either for a reason.

Hey Bob, while you have the ruler handy could you tell me the length of the turret housing (minimum spacing between rings)? Thanks.

JonA,

Hey, I was out all afternoon with the Mrs., In any event the turret housing is 2.1" long.
