I built a light weight scout rifle on a VZ24 action with a Leupold 2.5x (or 2.75? the only one they sold in 2002-2003 anyway) scout scope and shot several deer and bobcats with it. It was a really nice setup for eastern woods whitetail hunting IMO.
I've gravitated more towards longer distance shooting these days but still have a fondness for that old scout rifle setup. Hopefully the current owner enjoys it as much as I did.
