I did not buy this rifle for it's scout attributes. I needed/wanted a slim, sleek, SHORT and reasonably light rifle that could handle multiple duties both with a scope and also with irons. I wanted a scope I could remove and use the iron sights. This was important to me for brush use for pigs in Louisiana but I also wanted to use the rifle for 300 yards on white tail over a cut field here in Kansas.
I set the scope up on a cantilever AR Vortex type mount and use a torque driver to set torque repeatable and accurate. This allows me to quickly remove or re-install the scope without appreciable loss of zero. Yes, the torque driver is small and light and can go with me on an outing, should I not know in advance if I will favor scope or irons.
So here it is, I am sure I will be told the scope is too high, oh well, that is what the adjustable comb is for. And so far, with 20 rounds through it, with or without the scope, I am well zeroed at 100 yards solid. I plan to keep my irons at 100 yards zero and now move the scope zero out to 200 yards zero. The scope is a Nikon 3X9X40. I may grab a 50mm objective scope when I get some spare cash.
I also plan to acquire a flush magazine or two and a spare 10 rounder should I need to engage in urban combat with alien zombies after the fall of civilization, highly unlikely but just in case.
