A great scope with only one small drawback. - Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x20mm Illuminated Rifle Scope

I purchased this scope for use on a dangerous game large-magnum-caliber rifle for a hunt in Africa. It performed very well, especially in low-light, and it was the envy of the professional hunters and guides.

However, note that above about magnification 4x the eye relief becomes too short to safely use it on a large magnum rifle. While it didn't actually hurt me, it did smack my safety goggles pretty good during testing, and if I didn't have a good grip on the rifle it could have had more serious consequences.

Also, please note that if you want to get a Leupold Alumina flip-up scope cover for this objective, none of the standard sizes work. You have to order the cover direct from Leupold, as it's an unusual size that no one sells for some reason. I went through three sizes of cover before I figured that out.
Pros: clear image, great illumination, quick to use
Cons: eye relief is marginal at high magnification
