Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Scout Scopes. I have a m1 Garand and want to add a scope on her. I have the option of a side mount scope or a scout scope placed forward of the reciever. Since the scope would beabout 9 inches away from eye it would need to have a good amount of eye relief as well as maintain some magnification.

do any of you have any recommendations, experiences, or tips?

Thanks in Advance

yea im in the same boat..i've got a German 98K Mauser that I'm putting an insta-mount on which will be mountedforward of the reciever...I need a good long eye relief scope, but not sure what to get.

Leupold makes a Scout scope it is a 2.5x28 IER and I think Burris makes one. not sure about the burris. I have been thinking about these for my 30-30 not too sure yet. Here's link to Leupold

+2 on the leupold. A guy I hunt with has one on a ruger in 300 wsm. He went through 2 el cheapos and then bought the leupold. It is very easy to pick up the target.
