toad, what are the specs on the M7's scope? I like the looks of that setup.

Only scout scope I ever used was a Springfield Armory 2x on a SA Scout/Squad. The short .308 would put Fed 168s into .75 at 100 yards, and it could bust an MGM rifle target at 300 yards, but never hunted with that setup.

It didn't strike me as particularly fast to acquire a target with either. I sent the scope back, bought the rifle and used it with irons or Aimpoint until I foolishly sold it.

I have a Frontier .358 that I used a Micro T1 on to shoot a doe in a field about 100 yards away. Worked great in the open, but the green tint and lack of magnification kept me from shooting a big buck 60 yards away in heavy woods at daybreak on another occasion.

I am going to put Leupold 2.5X LW or a Weaver 1-3X on it for woods hunting this season. Or maybe copy Toad's system; it'd be kind of cool to spin a turret on a 2.5 or 4X and hit way out yonder with a .358.
