Eye relief refers to the distance between your eye and the lens at the rear of the scope that will give you a full crisp view, no dark ring around the edges. Important to know for high recoil calibers to avoid a black eye or worse. Some scopes are single power (3Ã32, 4Ã30 for example) which means no adjustments.
Eye relief for an optical device is simply the distance from the ocular lens of the optical device to your eye. While eye relief is not a big thing with binoculars, it is with scopes due to the recoil characteristics of most firearms. A large caliber firearm will generate more recoil. Greater recoil means that the scope on a rifle (or shotgun), the greater the distance that the scope moves rearward with the rifle under recoil.
