Abstract

A telescopic sight for use on a firearm, which sight provides an eye relief of greater than about 3.0 inches and an exit pupil of greater than about 25 mm. so that the target as viewed through the scope will substantially fill the eyepiece. The scope reduces the necessity of close alignment of the viewer's eye with the optical axis of the scope, thus enabling the viewer to quickly pick up the target with the scope and fire.
