I have one on savage scout model 10 in 308. 20 inch barrel the scout is a Leopold 2.5x with the heavy reticle. I liked the concept on paper and bought the rifle thanks to Jeff Cooper. I like to the setup and it is my only scout rifle. In practice the the setup is fast and accurate for what it is. I can keep all of my shots on a paper plate out to 300 yards. when people see this setup at the range they are curious about and ask to check it out. I have never killed anything with it but, paper. It would love to hunt with it. The rifle loves Factory Remington ammo 150gr green and yellow box. I have shot many three shot groups at 100 yards that are one ragged hole.With a 2.5 power scope no less. The thin savage barrel heats up quickly, not fluted. I haven not considered going to a variable scope. But, that rifle setup is solid and I would sell other rifles long before I would sell the savage scout. All in all it was money well spent!
