Scope with generous eye relief.

Good day Gents.
I am looking for a scope for my 300H&H, it is currently sporting a Rudolph 4-16x50. Not a bad scope but eye relief and late afternoon shooting is a bit bad. I am looking to put something with good eye relief and decent optics for all shooting conditions. Don't need to be a long range scope. Anything up to 500m will suffice. I had a nice Swarovski 4-12x50 BT that worked well on my Sako 222rem but cant remember if the eye relief was good. I liked the BT turret on the Swarovski scopes, the pre set ranges is a win for me. Don't want to break the bank but something like the Z 3/5 with BT can work just don't know about the eye relief. My LOP is 14"
What would the experts recommend?
Regards
Vossie

Leupold is bekend vir relatiewe langer eye relief vergeleke met ander.

Ek het n swarovski z3 3-10×42 op my 338wm en sy eye relief is meer as genoeg vir die 338 se terugskop. Daai 4-12×50 met BT sal baie goed werk op daai H&H.

I have a Z5 3-18x with BT Swaro on my 300H&H and cannot praise it enough. Eye relief is good and covers 99% of my hunting needs.
To answer your question, the eye relief on this scope is apparently 95mm, which is about as much as you'll get with any conventional riflescope

My Lynx 5-20×50 en Leopold VX3 4.5-14×50 se eye relief is altwee omtrent 4", wat genoeg is vir iets met lekker stamp.
Dalk net my persepsie, maar dit voel of die Lynx n klein bietjie meer helder is in lae/swak lig.

Dankie vir al die replies meneere. Ek dink ek gaan die 300H&H bederf met n Z5.
Groete
