Rifle Scopes Mark IV reticle/eye relief

[michaelt454]

Just got a leupold mk 4 6.5 -20 x 50 mil dot for xmas but i cant decide if i should exchange for the TMR. The TMR's are backordered and I won't know how long the wait is until after the first. Also I had looked at the 8.5 -25 but everyone that I talked to said that the eye relief was MUCH better on the 20 power as opposed to the higher power. Any help from experienced posters would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Michael T.

Does anyone have a mk 4 8.5-25 that has a complaint about eye relief while shooting from the prone or from the bench?

the eye relief on the MKIV is excellent, even on 25X

I have decided to return the 6.5-20 and order the 8.5-25 with the m5 turret mil/mil.
