Tejano,
I haven't warmed up to a scout scope either. Due to the top eject, it's the only decent choice. The lack of optics with this particular cartridge, would do it a slight injustice. This ain't no 45/70 here. This is a rifle that will send a fairly high-bc spitzer bullet clear through a 30-40 mph wind and hit the target at 300 yds. This particular scout rifle, does not come up on point as quickly as my 358 blr with the 2.5 leupold ultralight.
The field of view on the 2.5 ultralight, combined with the light weight of the rifle, nothing can compare. The scout scope seems a little more finnicky with cheek rest to get a clear field of view. Nothing a little practice with a bunch of 41 caliber pistol bullets won't help. BUT, it is my belief that nothing compares to a leupold 2.5 x, nothing. It's the fastest.
