Post by: deerbandit on October 11, 2010, 10:11:31 AM: 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.

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.
