What is the eye relief like on this? I need this to mount onto my Archangel Mosin Nagant, needs to be 6 inch eye relief (at min.) Anyone?

eye relief is only 3.6 inches, according the description. But I don' t think you need 6 inches eye relief for your Mosin.

I really think it too large of a scope for pistol. Eye relief, if I understand what you are asking, is fine for rifle. Have not considered this for pistol use.

The scope has about three inches of eye relief, more than enough for the recoil of a .30 caliber rifle like the Mosin Nagant, the scope is actually rated for the .50 BMG. The scope seems to be well built -- I like mine a lot ------

You just have to account for pretty short eye relief, and its somewhat low ( good for AKs), otherwise great scope, holds perfect zero with 7.62x39

Depends on your scope and the eye relief of it. I bought the Weaver 2.5-8x pistol scope, the eye relief on that I believe is 18-24 inches. I found that sitting directly over the Brass Stacker it was too close to my eye so I bought a ring mount that moved the scope forward another 3 inches. My brother has an NCStar pistol scope that sits directly over the Brass Stacker on low profile rings and he likes it.

No, the eye relief on this is nearly nonexistent. It will only withstand a recoil you get with an AR-15 set in .223, .22 or something similar to those. A larger caliber will probably cause the magnifier to hit your eye.

I am about 6 ft and 200 lbs with very long arms. It is fine for me. But, I replaced the red dot with a scope and needed a bit longer stock. I had already adjusted the stock out as far as possible. S, I took a 1" thick slip-on recoil pad off a rifle and slipped it on the crossbow stock. Gave just the right eye-relief. Am enjoying the Recruit as is my son who's over 6 ft and who is using my crossbow when season opens here on Sept. 27. I'll be elsewhere.

To whom it may concern. Do not buy this scope. Despite what I said in other reviews I have come to find this thing to be a POS. It broke very soon after a few rounds. I sent it back and they replaced it and that one broke as well. You will need to spend at least $140 to get a long eye relief scope that will stand up to the Mosin. Hope this helps. Doc

Hi, Your eye should rest against the "eye piece". There is no eye relief as one rifle scope.

I found the eye relief to be terrible for my natural cheek weld on my AR 15. I took it off and bought a new scope. I don't think you wouold have full field of vision at 2.5-3" of eye relief.

First off I'd have to say your weakest link is the swivel stud in that soft wood stock. If the stud is securely in the wood stock and we are not talking about wood as soft as balsam wood then you should be okay. Check out this link and look at the guy's modded gun about three-quarters down the blog. http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/mosin-nagant/106320-pics-your-mosin-nagant-mods-what-you-have-where-you-got.html Hope this helps.

It depends on the gun not the stock. Most mosin nagants were made only for iron sights and only certain sniper variations allow for a scope. If you buy a bent handle for the bolt you can mount a scope but it WILL require gunsmithing, some guys make a kit for a long eye relief scope that you can replace the iron sights with but it looks hella stupid and isnt as good as paying for the bent bolt and having a gunsmith attach and mount a scope. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Primarily because it has a long eye relief, which is well suited for the Mosin as the scope is typically mounted further forward where the rear sight usually is.There is an aftermarket scope mount that uses the rear sight housing as the attachment point.The Mosin usually can be bought for around 100.00, so most folks don't invest a bunch of cash in optics...long eye relief & cheap is why they are popular...hope this answers your question satisfactorily.Regards, Don

Honestly I have no ideaIf you put it on a mosin nagant it world have to be on a 91/30 for less recoilI never used it because your eye is to close for comfort not a scope I'd recommend

The scope is great, I have used mine weekly since I bought it and the optics are very clear, but the eye relief is tight - three inches at best. I don't think it would work in an intermediate/long eye relief mount. One would have to mount the scope directly over the action in a traditional mount for this scope to work. Even then this scope would not be a fast "mount & shoot" setup on a scout rifle. Hope that helps. cheers

With the scope mounted in an "off set" position, with a side rail, it will work very well. This might need to be done by a gunsmith. (Well, I'm not qualified, anyway.) If mounted straight over the ejection port , which is also the place you load, you won't be able to utilize stripper clips. You may still be able to load them one by one. Either way, I believe a "turned down" bolt is needed with either configuration, or you won't be able to open the bolt to eject your casing and chamber another round. On my mosin I settled for a longer eye relief scope; like about 10-13" eye relief. My scope is mounted on the rear sight base, so it's not over the ejection port and can't interfere with the bolt operation. I love the scope and have 2 of them, now, but I don't think it's a good choice for a mosin, without some modifications. Talk to a local gunsmith about options. Also, you can often find mosin "turned down " / bent handle bolts on line. Hope this helps ( Sorry if it was a bit long).

You can mount a 11" long scope on it without it interfering it all come to the eye relief. I tried a 3.5" with no luck and ended up getting a bent bolt to install.
