After WWII rifles were designedfor scopes and the long eye relief was sacrificed, generally for a larger field of view. American scopes like the Alaskan, Noske and Weaver 330 were made with eye relief long enough to mount low ahead of bolt handles - incidentally giving a sleeker appearance to a rifle. ![]() Before WWII rifle designs paid to heed to scope use and bolt handle alteration was not well understood. The 1990s Leupold Alaskan is its superior in every way except one - eye relief is much shorter. I do not think it ever had a centered reticle. ![]() The third and final model had a still bigtger eyepiece and was made into the 1950s. It was in appearance, except for an enlarged eyepiece and having both windage and elevation adjustments, a Zeiss Zeilklein copy. Thee first, in the 1930s, had uncapped adjustments. I am traveling, so do not have the scopes to look at, but there were at least three models of Lyman Alaskan.
