Hunting scope - Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36mm Riflescope

I purchased this scope to put on a Ruger #1 for the long eye relief. The eye relief is especially important on these rifles because of the ring placement on the one quarter rib on these rifles. Even with off set rings a scope with longer eye relief is needed. I would buy another for another #1 I own but this scope is no longer made. I think that will prove to be a mistake.
