Based on your personal experience which riflescope do you feel has the best eye relief at 16x or 20x? I would like to keep the price range between $500-$800.Either 1"or 30MM tube. I'm of course looking for a scope the maxes out at either 16x or 20x.

What type of obj bell size?

The new Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 are nice, as are the Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44's for a slightly smaller package. I would say the Viper HS's would be better suited if eye relief is a bigger issue:

The 4" of eye relief on the Viper HS 4-16x50 is pretty nice, although it has less internal adjustment. FOV is of course better on larger objectives as well.
