Has anyone out there used this as a scout scope in a LER configuration?

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.

This is not a scout scope. It is equivalent to a VX 2 scope but with a different crosshair.

This scope is not intended to be used as a LER application. It's a great scope for rifle or shotgun in close quarters situations. I use this scope on my Voere rifle/shotgun combination.

Its probably too late to respond and sorry, I dont use Amazon often enough to see everything. Its pretty durable and easy enough to adjust zoom/focus, I think it could work on a scouting trip. Downside is not having eyepiece at 90 degree angle. So either you need a compact but tall tripod, set scope on tall rock/table, or be in prone position. Its pretty difficult to hold scope without shaking it.

I do have one on a round sight of your caliber and it thus far seems to be working okay in practice. Will be using it hopefully as I go elk hunting next week. It seems fairly reliable on my targets.

It is not a scout scope, so the eye relief is not set up to be mounted too far forward. If you can mount it on the receiver then I think it is a good overall scope. The 7X would work for me at the range of a .308 but if you are stretching your shots out further than 500 yds with any regularity I would consider a more powerful scope.

yeah I think you would be good you just need a quality mount. if you go cheap with the mount like me mine is forward mounted " scout scope" on a cheap quad rail on my ak and no issues with losing zero yet.but any other way I would spend the money on a good mount.

Yes. I called leupold. All you have to do is mail the scope in if it fails. No questions asked.

I bought the very same unit for the exact purpose you did, magnifer mount for an ELO scope. Worked perfectly for this purpose, it returned the magnifier to the exact position every time.

The scope is crap, as are most air rifle scopes. Once you get it sighted, the slit east movement will throw it off. I have tried different rifles snd they are all the same - there is no secure rail system to keep it tight. I took mine off and have used the fixed sites, which actually are pretty accurate up to 25 yards.

Yes, but.... Considering the rings are low will the rear sight on the GSR get in the way of your line of sight with your scout scope?

Yep, lots of problems with the OEM scope. I am currently looking to put a simple rail system on it to avoid the ring issue.

Yes, though this not a compact scope. As for a mount there are many and various ones available with different results. If you plan on leaving it mounted, Leupold has a great one available here. Hope this helps.

Ron, I just bought one of these. Wondered if you found a scope, red dot, etc. that you liked. Thanks.

It is definitely LER. I have this mounted on a scout mount and have no problems with eye relief.

I used a bushnell banner scope. yes it is on the left but if you sight scope in properly it works great. of coarse it is for longer shots than with the iron sights. I use the hornady leverlution rounds and get good results out to 200 yds.

the scope was trouble for me as well, i bought a simple red dot holograph and put it on there. worked better.

Been using mine on a 22 lr with no issue scope has not moved since I mounted it and I put at least 500 rounds if not more threw it

The scope is great, I have used mine weekly since I bought it and the optics are very clear, but the eye relief is tight - three inches at best. I don't think it would work in an intermediate/long eye relief mount. One would have to mount the scope directly over the action in a traditional mount for this scope to work. Even then this scope would not be a fast "mount & shoot" setup on a scout rifle. Hope that helps. cheers
