Could someone please explain to me why true 1x optics still have a limited eye relief?
I am looking for a battery free option with similar capabilities to Eotechs and Aimpoints. I'm not a fan of the way reflexive sights perform in some light conditions. I found the Leupold Prismatic sight and thought that was the ticket until I noticed it required 3-5" eye relief.
So, are there any 1x optics with just plain old regular crosshairs/reticles that don't require a certain eye relief and are relatively parallax-free?
If not, why? I'm sure there is some scientific explaination dealing with focal planes, etc, and I'd like to know what it is.
Thanks
