I am setting up 2 Scout Rifles...one, a Mauser 98, the other a Garand. I am looking for 2 long-eye-relief scopes to mount on these rifles. What is the difference between so-called scout rifle scopes, and pistol scopes? I have seen the Burris and Leupold scopes, but they are fixed power. I am looking into a Nikon in 2-8x power, but i was wondering if there were any problems in mounting a pistol scope instead of a "scout scope."
