We have a lot of low power, true 1x variable to whatever scopes now that make the forward mounted LER scope kind of obsolete from a glass perspective. I've always said IMO the best part of the forward mounted scope was your ability to wrap your hand around the receiver and carry it that way. But even with my large hands, the Steyr is on the far end of doable because of it's girth. I can do it with gloves on, but I can see why some couldn't.
I'd really like to try it with an Aimpoint, but I can't see spending that much money for something that would see so little use.
And yes, I'd like one in .223, despite having almost no use (job) for it, but I'd only buy one if it came along at a give away price.
