Anyone use this on a Steyr Scout, forward mounted?

No, I used my scope on a Moisin Nagant using the rear sight base for the new mount. I shoot from 200 to 500 meters. the scope works wonderfully.As you know; most extended eye relief scopes were low power. Also it was like looking looking through a tube. I don't feel that way with this scope. I don't think I'd a scout set up to hunt with Too weird...rp

No. Mounted on a Ruger Gunsite Scout. Forward mount. It works very well. Usually set it at 3x or 4x at 100 yards for my old eyes. Nice to be able to dial it up higher for longer distance, out to 300yrds if needed. The advantage of Scout type scopes is getting on the target quickly with both eyes open. There are better options for long range.

no, mounted on garand replacing 2.5X leupold scout; needed more magnification for my tired eyes than 2.5X; just sighted it in at 50 yds

I've got these on a Savage bolt-action so I couldn't say, but I did have a similiar set-up as what you're talking about on a Ruger that I own and it was a bear finding the right mount. I ultimately had to just search around for a cantilevered single piece mounting system that put the scope forward of the flip-up. It wasn't ideal. I'm going to say that these may be limited to do what you want. Perhaps look at the Nikon one-pieces (or any maker you like) that give you some ability to get the scope forward of the flip-up. Then you get into eye relief issues I know. Seems like a business opportunity for someone because you ain't the only one to encounter this issues. Good luck.

Since it mounts to the rifle not the stock, it's not an issue. I have it on mine, with the archangel, and it's solid as a rock. Love it

I mounted this on forward rail of my Ruger Gunsite and it worked just fine but I put an XS site system rail and moved it back. The eye relief is adequate, I just prefer it farther back.

I just googled the rifle you have. It's the same sight system them mine has so this mount should work fine. But like I said before find a screw to replace the rear pin with or you'll never be able to zero.

Yes it will if you set it up in a "scout" configuration. You can also adjust it if you want it farther back or forward by how you place it in the scope rings. Just remove the rear sights (tons of how-to's on YouTube) and get you some extra low profile rings. Hope this helps

I used it on a marlin 22 wmr with no issues except it was difficult to see my steel sights. The mount screws are in the way. But it stayed secure.

Actually I have it mounted forward of my scope. I have the UTG Tactical on high rise mounts and it won't fit under the tube or the objective lens. It's perfect for my set up, in a forward position but it's just my preference.

Yes they make special side mounts which i do not prefer.This mount has a picitny rail built on to it.All you have to do is a little filing and simply replaces other cover.As far as certain sights just make sure the rings fit picitny rail.Also i suggest a tactile scope or youll have empty cartridges bouncing off it.I used a 3-9Bug Blaster scope and love it on my sks.

In my estimation if it goes back the exactly same way you took it off and nothing has been altered or changed with the scope settings or scope rings and or mount rail settings then it should work fine. The better part of valor though in my thinking is never hurts to check out your guns accuracy before going hunting especially. Can't swap the scope and mounts to another weapons though and expect the same accuracy as the one it was on. Every gun has it's own idiosyncrasies and is unique unto it's self.

I think if you plan on attaching a forward grip, it wouldn't be a bad thing. I was going to use it for a laser mount, I found out it wouldn't leave enough room for my forward grip, so it didn't serve my purpose, but depending on your plan, it might work fine.

It does, I had no problems with it. It may take a little bit of time to make sure you have it secure. But the truth is I haven't seen a scout mount better than this.

I clamp mine onto a std rail. I believe there is a swivel mount option that I did not use. It's good for rail mount. Can't say more tho.

I use it on 308. No problems that I know of as long as you have a rail to mount it on. It's a pretty solid built mount.

You'll need either a weaver or pic.mount but if your trying for a scout type set up there's not enuf eye relief without a special mount to bring the scope towards the rear of the rifle.

I think it would work, but I've only used mine on a Savage Axis in .223 Rem. It mounts very securely on the front sling swivel and the legs lock in place securely when extended. I haven't had any trouble with mine, but I'm not shooting a heavy recoil caliber.

Are you talking about the Ruger dove tail mount? If so, it works great. :-)
