Normally I would tell you to order one but you are close enough to the wire that you would be better off calling all of your local sporting goods stores.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Actually, isn't there a Cabelas in Post Falls (Idaho)?  Should only be about a half hour drive. Check there. You could probably call first and ask what they have in stock.

I did the Cabelas thing with no luck.  Also went to Black sheep, white elephant, and the general store all with no luck.  I am looking for a Scout scope as inexpensive as possible, I am not rich just a regular person trying to get by as I can. Again all responses are appreciated and I hope I can find one soon, thanks again.

Order from an online retailer like www.midwayusa.com and have it shipped FedEx.   :dunno:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

You're looking for a Long Eye Relief scope?  You can spend the big bucks on a Leupold or Burris "scout" scope, or spend less on a pistol scope.  I have a fixed 2.5X Simmons pistol scope on my scouted Win 94 Trapper... works like a champ.
