Here's why they suck: long eye relief comes with limited eye box, unless your head is properly positioned you won't get a good look through a scout scope. It is slower, for me, to use a scout scope than it is to use a conventionally mounted scope of the same magnification.

The only useful application I have seen for the Leupold 2x EER scout scope is on large bore Ruger #1's where they allow for forward mounting using the factor Ruger rings. In that application, the additional eye relief is useful, but the eyebox is noticeably smaller than the view through a conventional Leupold 2.5x.

As for the Burris scope specifically, I have seen them and looked through one mounted on a Savage scout rifle. It was inferior, to my eye, to the Leupold, which was, in turn, inferior to the standard Leupold M8 2.5x.

If you must have a forward mounted optic, check out a good red dot such as the Aimpoint Micro or Trijicon RMR. They're light, small and fast to work with.
...........Ore 45.........At least you explained the why.

Scouts take a little practice to get use to them. But once I did, mine serves me well when I do use it.

You're "experience" precludes you from recognizing junk.

Interesting tidbit there.................

..................You say they "ALL SUCK" and yet you have one on that carbine? Looks like you really hate them then uh?

Better look to yourself to understand why schitt tastes like schitt.

You are still such a [bleep] idiot. You get on folks cuzz you say they have no experience and then when they've proved usage as a form to back up their suckage opinion you can't connect the dots.

Yep, they SUCK, and I know because I've used the [bleep] things.


How do you know I taste like [bleep] princess? About par for you.

.......But at least I have experience with them, vs one like you whom spouts off with no scout scope experience.

Since you didn`t/can`t answer my question as to your own scout scope experience, it stands to reason that you don`t have any.

Far more credible when calling something junk, IF one has some experience to back up their opinion.

The Burris was the answer to a question I asked.

............Then you should have said so and posted your pic earlier then. If you hate the damned thing so much, then why is it still mounted on that carbine?

And on a side note. I`ll be very happy to send U a plane ticket to Calif, so that you can see for yourself first hand, exactly what this "[bleep] idiot" or "princess" as you say can do on a face to face basis. Soap in your mouth alone won`t be enough.

That is something you will never do nor accept.

Granted the Scout concept has some very big limitations - and even that I could do with iron sights in my youth what I need a scout scope for today - I have two scout scopes mounted one on a true Steyr Scout and one on a Dragoon (finer cross hairs on the .308 and heavier on the .376 - lever detach on the .308 solid as I could make it on the .376 etc.). For red dots I also use an Aimpoint red dot on a 6920 mounted forward and an RMR on a S&W M&P compact pistol.

For my own use the scout scope on the scout rifle allows me old and tired as I am to do what I want to do in the woods. Disadvantages for aiming close to glare, issues for extreme accuracy with very fine aiming points, (but the scope sight is not a binocular and using the scope as a binocular substitute is always criminal and in some jurisdictions a crime) for all the handiness lacking light gathering ability and an illuminated aiming point still for a wandering around carbine I've put my money where my mouth is - but of course those are not my only rifles. In fact I've got a Leupold conventional 2.5 (shotgun) on a double - not for Africa but maybe for kicking the brush on a north face on a hot day and that works too.

Still IMHO the Burris is entirely satisfactory as a Scout Scope - that is as a scout scope there is no meaningful advantage in the field and the Burris offers a focusing eye piece lacking on most maybe all iterations of the Leupold scout scope. Maybe that means the Leupold is better sealed but the Scout is nothing to take to war and given the end of the world as we know it somebody else will quickly inherit my own scout so issues of ruggedness and guarantee don't arise for me.

I have used a Burris Scout for a number of years on the smooth-bore slug barrel of my Ithaca 37. It was very difficult to find a way to scope the 37 and the Scout scope in Zee rings turned out to be the answer. It has its limitations and I would not choose it if other options were available, but for this application it has served very well.

..........The Eotechs are great red dot sights and are certainly better in every respect than the Burris 2.75x scout for closer ranged hunting. I`ll agree with that. I sure hope so at about $420-$450 on up.

But at only 1x, they are range limited, whereas a 2.75x will do just fine out to 250-300 yards and for some maybe a little more yardage if needed. The Burris optics are fine for my use.

Maybe "Steelhead" can dump that awful scout scope that`s on his carbine which he hates so much (yet seems to keep it on there?), and get an Eotech or a Trijicon.

Dummy,

Your "use" is hardly taxing. You could raid the Bus Station,pinch used schitt paper rolls and string threaded "crosshairs",less missing a lick...............

........You are one big huge azzhole,,,,Sshtick!

Tell ya what there jerk head!..How abouts you volunteering to put an 8" bright orange circle on that useless POS chest of yours, then go down range say 300 yards. Then I`ll be happy to show you exactly what I can do.

Damn! There are laws against shooting people. Even the most idiotic and pathetic ones who are amongst us.

Feel free to flaunt your "experience"...mebbe by a few "trying" pictures or such. Be forewarned,that pics with your pants at your ankles,are not "Art",no matter the reason(s) you were told.

Like you could hit an 8" circle,you poor daydreaming dummy!.....................

..........................Your diatribe on this thread reminds me of some secluded ignorant hillbilly hack, wearing a straw hat, jeans, suspenders and who is barefoot who lives out in the middle of no-where, that never reached a 3rd grade level of education.

Maybe is spelled,,,"maybe",,,NOT mebbe you pathetic idiot.

Anytime you wish to wear that 8" circle, you let me know. The VLDs will make excellent long range work of that POS chest of yours.

Ooops, With the exception of self defense, I keep forgeting that it is against the law to shoot people.... smirk
