Steyr Scout at Storm Mountain

[ctdonath]

Just took my Styer Scout through Storm Mountain's Long Range Rifle 1 & 2 courses (6 days). Put 500+ rounds through the SS at up to 900 yards. Course and rifle review at http://www.donath.org/Rants/StormMountain

Is that a standard eye relief scope as opposed to the Cooper-approved forward mounted long eye relief scope?

 

[ctdonath]

Had to use a standard-mounted scope. Don't know of any 10x long-eye-relief scopes.

Nice thing with the Scout is that switching scopes only requires a couple minutes with a screwdriver and 2-3 (if that) re-zeroing shots. I'll just keep the 10x scope & a screwdriver in the case.

Did you use the bipod that is built in? If you did, what did you think of it?

That's a cool photo. I gotta try that out with my camera.

Great review to read.

Question: Want to sell the Burris rings? I am having the same problem with a 10/22 and a Tasco scope. What I need is a good set of used Burris rings to stick on there.

dZ - Not yet, but Rod had mentioned it. Good content. The white-on-light-blue color scheme has got to go.

I did use the built-in bipod. (I tried to get a short Harris bipod, but the Spirit Of Cooper prevented all my furtive attempts.) It's acceptable, but a bit long-legged and requiring a couple sandbags under the buttstock to compensate when being precise (which in turn is sometimes unstable if you have to pile things up high enough).

I'll part with the Burris rings. Email me, carl@donath.org
