They\u2019ll adjust their shooting position and crane their necks to get a good sight picture through their scope. It&#8217;s common to see them fiddle with the focus knob and do other adjustments, trying to get the scope set up to their liking. They\u2019ll finally fire a shot, and they get frustrated as the round landed nowhere near where they thought it would. Let\u2019s talk about the problems of scope eye relief, eye box and overscoping. These are the things responsible for frustrating range outings like the one I just described.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just What Is Scope Eye Relief, Anyways?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, scope eye relief is the distance between the pupil of your eye and the rear lens of your scope. Scopes with longer eye relief, such as handgun scopes or the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/what-is-a-scout-rifle\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> traditional scout scope<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be mounted further forward on the gun. Scope eye relief, we should note, is not the same as eye box (we\u2019ll get to that later). Rather, eye relief is the forward and back range you have behind your scope so you can see the reticle and the target without any cutoff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3260\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3260\" class=\"wp-image-3260 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"The author demonstrating scope eye relief at a shooting range\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-1536x861.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-610x342.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-1080x605.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope-627x352.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/defensive_rifle_scope.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The usable spaced behind a low-power scope tends to be quite large<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye relief is inversely proportional to field of view. Field of view is how much of the area around the target you can see through your scope. Field of view is a function of the optics inside the scope. It can vary between scopes of the same magnification and lens size. Scopes with a wide field of view, such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trijicon.com\/products\/subcategory\/trijicon-acog-riflescopes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trijicon ACOG<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, tend to have short eye relief distances. This, in turn, means they need to be mounted further back on your rifle, and your eye needs to be within a smaller range of distances than a scope with a narrow field of view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exit (Pupil) Questions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we move on to talk about eye box, let\u2019s pause for a moment and talk about exit pupil. Exit pupil is the size of the image on the rear lens of your scope. It&#8217;s calculated by dividing the diameter of the objective lens (the one up front) by the power of your scope. For instance, a scope with a 36mm objective lens at 6 power would have a 6mm exit pupil. Crank that scope up to 12 power, though, and that exit pupil shrinks to 3mm. Now let\u2019s put this newfound knowledge together with scope eye relief and show you how it affects what you see on the range or in the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3263\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3263\" class=\"wp-image-3263 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"showing what the scope eye box is with a rifle\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-610x419.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-1080x742.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief-627x431.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/eye_relief.jpg 1814w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3263\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eye relief, eye box and exit pupil explained<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve ever placed your eye behind your scope and seen the edges start to darken, or had to wiggle your head around so you\u2019re seeing the whole reticle, you\u2019ve experienced how a small exit pupil combined with a short eye relief distance can create a small eye box behind the rear lens of your scope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye Box: It&#8217;s What Behind That Counts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye box is best described as the total area behind the trigger of your gun where you can clearly see the image without any shading on the edges. An eye box isn\u2019t really a box, though. Rather, it\u2019s a cone-shaped area behind the scope where you can see the entire reticle and there is no shading or fade to black around the edges. The length of this cone is controlled by the scope eye relief. The diameter of the cone is controlled by the exit pupil. Inside of this area is the sweet spot where everything you see inside your scope is crisp and clear. You&#8217;ll have all the information you need to make the shot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, though, exit pupil is a function of the objective lens and the magnification. If you increase the power of your scope, your eye box is going to shrink. At higher magnifications, this means the eye box can get quite small. This results in a very small area behind the stock where you have a clear view through your scope. If you\u2019ve ever wondered why precision rifles have stocks you can fine-tune to the individual shooter, now you know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scoping Out The Experts<\/span><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_3261\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-magnific_type=\"image\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3261\" class=\"wp-image-3261 size-medium\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-300x167.jpg\" alt=\"precision rifle scope\" width=\"300\" height=\"167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-1024x570.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-1536x855.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-610x340.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-1080x601.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope-627x349.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/precision_rifle_scope.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The usable space behind a precision rifle scope can be quite small.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to get a better idea of how all this works together for the American gun owner, I reached out to Michael Branson, Product Marketing Director at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swampfoxoptics.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Swampfox Optics<\/a>. \u201cEverything about choosing an optic is different from one person to the next,\u201d Branson said. \u201cThe shape of your face, for instance, can affect how you position your cheek on the stock. This, in turn, can affect where you position your scope on your rifle and how high it will be over the stock. Everything about your optic works together, so when shopping for a scope, don\u2019t fixate on one feature over another. Instead, consider how everything works together to deliver the best experience behind the glass.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTake a good look at what you really need from your optic,\u201d Branson continued. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people who believe that a higher magnification on their scope will make up for their lack of basic rifle technique. We call this \u2018overscoping,\u2019 and if anything, it makes bad technique even worse. At higher powers, you\u2019re going to have more wobble in shot, along with longer target acquisition times.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding The Right Scope Eye Relief Takes Time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re at too high of a magnification, you\u2019re also going to run into problems with how the scope itself works,\u201d Branson said. \u201cThere will be less adjustment in the turrets. It\u2019s also quite easy to zoom past the markings on your reticle. Your field of view really narrows at higher magnifications. That, in turn, cuts off the outer edges of the reticle markings inside your optic. If that happens, you\u2019ll either have to zoom back out to where they appear, or adjust your aim by using your windage and elevation dials, which is slower and is more prone to error.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scope eye relief is just one of the things to consider when buying an optic. Every feature of a rifle scope, be it a 1 power prism optic or a high-power telescopic sight, affects the other functions of the scope. It\u2019s up to each of us to consider our shooting ability. Then, consider what our purpose for the optic will be and finally, shop accordingly. Remember, no amount of high-priced, brand name optic is going to make up for a lack of basic marksmanship skills. Train accordingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scoping Out Scope Eye Relief I often shoot at a public rifle range near me, and it\u2019s quite common for me to see other shooters there struggling with their scoped rifles.
