Rifle Scopes Question about eye relief

[Sacadelic]

So I am piecing together the new build, and one of the last things that I need to purchase is a piece of glass. He is my situation. I am building a .308 on a Savage 116 action, 20" barrel 1:10 on a Choate adjustable tactical stock. I would like to shoot out to 800yds so. My biggest problem is the my neck and back are fused. I am pretty much rigid from my head to my ass. So I am looking for a decent quality scope in the hopefully $400-600 range that has minimal change in eye relief throughout the zoom. I was looking at the Millett LRS, but am now thinking that it may have too much change in eye relief for me. I guess i am looking for some peoples personal experiences with these things. I appreciate anything that anyone would have to offer. Thanks so much.

Vortex, I think this is about the best deal going in optics right now? For the sub $500 market it is a great piece of glass with customer service that is second to none! They will fix or replace no questions asked. I don't know if the reticule will work for you? If not look at the two other choices and you still have a great scope for the price.

If Axeman is still on here ask him about the issues he had to endure with his Millet. I would look at other options.

I think that I am leaning more towards the Vortex at this point. I spent a few hours looking around last night. I am not sure which one that I am going to go with. It is either going to be the Viper or maybe splurge and go for the Viper PST. If anyone else has any suggestions, it would be great. Thanks.

Re: Question about eye relief

good luck with your search sir. My mother in law has cervical fusions and I know this can be a painful thing to live with. Glad you are able to get out and shoot! Wish I could help you pick a scope but sounds like the folks on here have you dialed in.
