    think this had a long eye relief . http://www.hopairsoft.com/index.php?...product_id=110

    the one I had was badged as a tasco too but had leapers instructions.

    some had mil dots and others came with the ladder type reptile

    edit. one site claims its only 3.5 in eye relief. I thought mine was more.

    Most pistol scopes by design have a very long eye relief so that the reticule is in focus when your arms are almost fully out stretched in the normal pistol shooting position. I had one for years on my .30 M1 carbine as it is difficult to fit a normal rifle scope on them. Also handy for shooting moving targets with both eyes open. Since returning to UK I have used Rhino pistol scopes with 32 mm lens and found them quite good, but I am not sure if they are still available.

    It's just for a bit of fun... I enjoyed the both eyes open, quick target aquisution the low powered pistol scope gave... I'm actually thinking about putting one on my mk2 airsporter for some fast fire fuselade fun!!

    I've not tried a long eye relief scope, Donald, but many moons ago my go-to ratter was a Mercury with a Singlepoint Red Dot. A well-matched combination, I thought, due to the fast handling nature of the Merc'. Awesome for plinking.....devastating on Rolands!

    I've plumped a whole 25 quid for a 2-7x32 scope from China! Comes with bikini covers, cleaning cloth and rings!!!
    I'm full of eastern promise and it is Chinese new year after all - gong xi fa chai!
    I'll do a wee review when it comes.. I'm not expecting burris quality here, but I am hoping it's good enough to be an accurate plinking scope. I don't think anyone on here will have one.. it looks fairly new on the scene and there are very few scopes advertised with long eye relief.. this one is meant to have 8 - 13"... anyway.. I'm off to eagerly wait less than 60 days from delivery - guaranteed!

    I have an original Telescan.
    The concept works, a bit like a red dot, Singlepoint or Aimpoint. However, they only really work with very low power. Plus, as with the fine cross hair Telescan, they aren't fast or much use for precision shooting as they take an age to precision aim.
    Best used as a fast aiming device: if its in the frame fire.

    Having said all that they are different and fun.
