Unusable eye relief - save yourself some pain... - Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 3x Prism Scope

JT's Review of Vortex Spitfire HD Gen II 3x Prism Scope
For a bit of context, I have many, many optics from a variety of manufacturers ranging from high-end across the full spectrum. This includes two Vortex optics that I really do like, and feel are solid quality.
This Spitfire HD Gen II 3X, however, is simply awful - primarily due to the simply pathetic eye relief. I fully understand the nature of prism scopes, red-dots, LPVO's and the like as it pertains to eye relief - and was prepared to mount this one as far back as possible on an AR rail. Even still - it is so ridiculously short on eye relief you'd have to choke the stock completely back into the receiver and push your face onto the optic for it to be viewable and thus compromise any bit of situational awareness or comfort you might have to give.
I returned a Nightforce NX8 over less than par eyebox - the eye relief on this one is even far worse than the NX8 was for eyebox.
Please spare yourself some grief and look elsewhere if you're considering this one...
