I'm thinking about scoping my Ruger GSR (Gunsite Scout Rifle)
I'm not sure if I want to go the Traditional or Scout scope way just yet. I've researched and researched but I'm still torn.
another problem is almost ALL the scout scopes carry a nice price tag that I really don't want to pay for something I may or may not like...
The only real experience I've had with optics are Old cheap Bushnell sportviews, some Vortex red dots (that I really like) and most recently a Redfield Revenge 2-7x34 I picked up for my Marlin 1895 45-70...
I've found a Leapers UTG 2-7x32 handgun scope that I think will work as a scout scope (it seems to have great reviews) and only costs $121...
I'm torn though because I can also pick up a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 for $129, a Nikon Buckmasters II 3-9x40 for $130 or a Redfield Revenge 3-9x42 for $142...
is the Leapers worth the gamble to see if I like having a scout scope over a traditional or should I just stick to traditional?
note this is going on a 5.56/223 chambered rifle so recoil wont be an issue...
