What scope do those of you with scout rifles prefer? I just got a little Ruger Frontier in 308, which I realize isnt a purist's scout rifle, but is still pretty close. I would like to mount a forward scope on it.
Would a red dot sight be good in that situation or should I get a long relief pistol scope? I use Aimpoints on my ARs and like that, but would it work well on a forward mounted scout scope? I probably don't want to spend as much as an Aimpoint costs, and was looking at less expensive red dots like those by Burris, Bushnell, and Nikon? There are mostly in the $100 to $200 range.
The Nikon Monarch Red Dot looks pretty good to me, and mounts directly to the rail on the Frontier. How is it?
