Scout scope question
« on: February 21, 2011, 08:01:39 PM »
I just got a new Savage Scout 10FCM in .308 and was wondering if there were any opinions or recommendations on a particular scout scope anyone can recommend, and why.  Thanks in advance.

I have been doing research for my 45-70 guide gun and I'm going to be putting on a 1.5-5x20 or a 1-4x20. Now its just a matter of doing it! I'm leaning toward the 1.5-5x20. Leupold of course, but really is there any other scope made. 
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

You really don't need a dedicated "scout" scope.  A long eye-relief scope is what your looking for.  I have a Simmons 2.5X handgun scope on my XS-scouted Win 94, .30-30.  It works like a champ.   :twocents:

Straight Shooter.
Besides eye relief, do you know what the difference is between a handgun scope and a rifle scope?

Just wanted to say thank you to the people who responded to my request, I hope to have a scope on the rifle soon and will post pictures.
