lots of dead horses
Well, we certainly beat this one to death. Rereading my posts, I may have gotten a bit testy, not really intended, sometimes it just comes out that way.
No need for caps, .....sorry.
I'm with Aagard on the scout scope, not completely sold. My hunting with an IER revealed issues for me in seeing the reticle against dark backrounds, and glare if backlit with low sun. Aagard and others had the same issues. For the hunting I do, the low magnification was not a problem, most shots under 100 yds. The system was superior to irons......but not the great jump ahead of conventional mounted LPV scopes Cooper claimed. He worked with the components he had, I wonder what he would have thought of the modern red dot.
What was truth was the convenience in handling a short tidy .308 bolt. Ruger and Savage need to remember that and nix all the bells and whistles they've hung on their current offerings.
