Gentlemen, I have a Springfield Armory M1A scout and am trying to find a scope with a 8-9" extended eye relief.  I would prefer a 2-7 or 3-9 for whitetail hunting.  I've searched the Leupold and know they have a 2.5 power with the correct eye relief.  Anything else on the market or do I scrap yhis idea and go with a bolt gun?

 Thats the only one I could find. And I have never used it...
If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

they make a 2-7 and 1.5-6.  
I've not used one, but know 2 guys who have them on M1A's.  They like them pretty well.  
Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

I've had the Leupold 2.5X Scout scope (mounted on a Swiss K31) and it was fine for hunting out to 200-250 yards or so. I'd take a look at the Leatherwoods if you want a variable. Pistol scopes usually have parallax set much shorter so that might not work well with the M1A.
Reaction time is a factor...
