Ruger Gunsite Optic

I went with the standard Leupold Scout Scope and am very pleased. It takes some getting used to, but works very well, is light, clear, and fast to shoot.

Overall I am very happy with it.

I have a Ruger Frontier, and I never could find a EER/pistol variable scope that would work well on this rifle. Consequently, I stuck with the Leupold FXII 2.5x IER/scout scope. I have no quarrel with it, but I still wish I had the option of reaching out to 4x-5x.

I did contact Leupold's custom shop and they indicated that they would take their 1.5x-5x/20 pistol scope and set it up for IER use. As soon as I save some pennies, I may give that a try.

It is the 2.5x. It took some time for me to get used to using this kind of scope, but now I really like it. I just lift the rifle, look through the scope and press the trigger. it is very quick. The hard part was sighting it in. I am used to high powered scopes which provide a much better view of the target. Then I found a target made for use with scout scopes and it settled right in. Here is my initial impression:

Hope it helps

have you considered a conventional 1-4X scope, like a trijicon accupoint?

Same here.

I Micro would be very cool. I guess it just depends how you want to use the rifle. I wanted to shoot out to about 300 yards, so the scout scope is great. The Micro would be blazing fast at close range and more difficult at longer yardage. You could also consider using QD mounts and use both. You could also pull off the rear sight and use a conventional scope like Andrew suggested.

XS Sights can take care of the eye relief problem with this:

It still contains a ghost rings sight in the back as well. Kind of a neat product if you don't want to use the scout type set up.
