looking for some feedback on these scopes , who else makes a scout scope besides leupold ? ..........I have a 2.75x Burris scout scope and use it on occasion atop my Ruger Frontier which can also can accomodate a conventionally mounted scope which I use more. It is a good and a very tough little scout scope. It is fast aiming and is very lightweight. Optics are very good and comparable to that of the 2.5x Leupold scout. Some pistol scopes can also be used as rifle scout scopes. For scout rifles though, make sure you double check the eye relief specs. The Burris 2-7x32 is one and the 2.5-8x28 Nikon Monarch EER w/fast focus is another. While the scout scopes have some advantages in speed and no chance of ever getting scope whacked, the real dis-advantages for some, if you can call them that, are their reduced FOVs and lack of magnification for the fixed powers. Nevertheless, a 2.5x or 2.75x fixed scope, is enough to take any deer sized animal and larger out to 250-300 yards and maybe a little more.

......Big Shhtick!...........If someone is of the opinion that scout scopes are junk, most would think they`d give some kind of an explanation as to why?? Junk?..............You`re a little off the mark. Way off the mark as a matter of fact.

What do you say to a guy that thinks a Scout Scope is sumptin' and trumpeting a Burris version to boot?
Other than nice TRY...............

Other than nice TRY............... .............You apparently lack the vocabulary, skill and thought to tell us why the scouts happen to be junk. Your fingers must be lazy when it comes to explaining such things on a keyboard? After someone typed in their one worded opinion,,,"JUNK",,,I`m sure the O/P might appreciate it more if there were some additional thought from a scout scope detractor such as yourself? The scout scopes serve their purpose. And btw, you didn`t state whether or not you had any scout scope experience.

Scout scopes suck, all of them.

Agreed. You would be better off learning to use a good set of peep sights.
Here's why they suck: long eye relief comes with limited eye box, unless your head is properly positioned you won't get a good look through a scout scope. It is slower, for me, to use a scout scope than it is to use a conventionally mounted scope of the same magnification.
The only useful application I have seen for the Leupold 2x EER scout scope is on large bore Ruger #1's where they allow for forward mounting using the factor Ruger rings. In that application, the additional eye relief is useful, but the eyebox is noticeably smaller than the view through a conventional Leupold 2.5x.
As for the Burris scope specifically, I have seen them and looked through one mounted on a Savage scout rifle. It was inferior, to my eye, to the Leupold, which was, in turn, inferior to the standard Leupold M8 2.5x.
If you must have a forward mounted optic, check out a good red dot such as the Aimpoint Micro or Trijicon RMR. They're light, small and fast to work with.

I took some ktown coasties hunting today.. I think they learned the meaning of Junk after the trip to the top of the mountain.. (grin) I suppose the nice thing to do would be to drive them to the nearest dumpster and let them unload.

I've seen lots of guys throw out quite of a bit of [bleep] after only a few days. Seems they can't believe if it works in Vigina or Pencilvainya that it won't work in Alaska. They were wrong.

Sweetheart,I don't guess...though I see you are rather at ease in same.
Which reiterates how one should always consider the source,despite that factoid being the furthest from your intentions.
You frosted your own cake,without even knowing it!................

Scout scopes suck, all of them. ......Yep! Just another one who states that "scout scopes suck" right along with the other, who also has limited use of explaining "as to the why" skills. At least Steelhead was able to come up with two more words than Big Stick. C`mon boys, as tough as it may be, let`s go for a paragraph the next time, explaining to the OP why scouts suck and are junk.............

The glaring obvious needn't copious bandwidth,though I'm sure you'll wanna wax eloquent on your old lady's adam's apple.................

I think one of them said Alabama, and the other said Illinois. Good guys that I met in the airport shuttle on the way back from my moose trip. One of them managed to destroy an expensive Under Armour jacket on his first trip up the mountain..
