Okay, dumb question time....
(this presumes an M2 or Mk-19 mounted in a vehicle turret)
How is an optic with only a few inches of eye relief supposed to be properly used on a spade gripped weapon where you can't get your face that close up to the works? And if you do manage to scooch up that close to the backside of an M2 or Mk-19 without having it kick up into your septum, just how well is the gunner going to be able to hold said weapon steady and on target during shooting with any amount of magnification?
I had the same thought...google the elcan heavy weapon sight, that is the kind of eye relief I would expect for m2/mk19 use. Now, on a 249 or 240, I can see using a normal scope like the leupy we are discussing.
