The Bushnell Trophy 2-6 X 32 pistol scopes have some of the longest eye relief and work great.
They have a fixed parallax set at 50 yards but you can back the front lens out a turn or two to refocus
the parallax down to 15 yards or so. Simmons is owned by Bushnell and they have a scope with identical
specs for about $60 less than the Trophy. I've had good luck with the Trophy scope and like it a lot.

It is 8 to 10 inches as stated. I can rest the pistol with my arms stretched out without getting a stiff neck in the process. I can shoot out to 50yds with this scope but it's best sight is 30 yds or less. I have them mounted on a 1377 and 1322. The tube on the scope 30mm so you will need scope rings that are 30mm to 11mm dovetail. I took this photo with my cell phone looking through the scope, the squirrel was just over 20 yrds.
