    Depends on what you are looking for...intermediate like a scout rifle scope, or truly extended for handguns. Handgun scopes are made out to 12 power these days...3-12x that is, and they say Burris on them...the very best in handgun scopes.

    Not handgun EER for Rifle. Building a modified F Class/Bench Gun for my mother. She has never been able to bring her eye/head forward for traditional eye relief. She keeps it way back near the rear of the stock. Gun will be used out to 600 max. She competed with M1As across the course and did great with open sights but never cared for scopes because of the way she holds her head.

    Leupold M8 4 power has 18" eye relief. The 8 power's also 18" out. What eye relief does she need?

    You might want to look at using aluminum bar stock rods, mounted in scope rings to move the scope closer to her. Silhouette shooters have taken this to extremes on occasion, mounting "adaptions" for chair-bound shooters with limited mobility.
    There's also the Cantilever style, which could be turned around, but could block single loading or bolt throw.
    Most practical adaptation you could make on her F-Class rig would be to build the stock on a cant, so she could get a good cheek weld while looking through the scope. I think shotgunners call it cast-off(?).
