 Attached FileADM superwide works well to get an IER scope back far enough without bridging the loading port. |

Bought a used Left Hand Ruger Gunsite Scout off grunbroker and picked it up from my dealer yesterday. Looking at the following 2 scopes: https://www.eurooptic.com/113165-Leupold-VX-R-HOG-125-4x20mm-30mm-Matte-FireDot-Pig.aspx https://www.eurooptic.com/119675-Leupold-VXR-15-5x33mm-Scount-Matte-FireDot-Duplex-11.aspx Need rings. |

X-S has a full length rail with a built in sight. That gives you more mounting options than the Ruger receiver mount.

XS makes a rail that bridges the receiver which I don't like. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If you are going to take the rear sight off Warne would be my choice.

I like the reticle of the hog scope with it's ranging hash marks but with only 4 inches of eye relief, would need mount it more over the chamber. The Leupold Scout Scope's reticle is basic but might start with that one. Zero it for 200yds and go from there. Going to research mounts. I don't want a scope mount that puts the scope up high like most of these AR15 mounts do. Want to keep the scope as low as possible. |

Mauser action is the eye bell on the scope needs to be a small diameter so the bolt handle doesn't hit it, or get close enough that your hand doesn't have any clearance. I always end up going with a little higher rings and a stock saddle of some sort. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Then scroll up and look at my pic, that is an ADM superwide. BUT you said you want rings so? Side question - do you note a lot of slop in the bolt when the action is open all the way? Tried working my bolt fast this afternoon and was having difficulty. Seems to be a lot of play in the bolt. Still need to get it to the range. This is how it sits now with a cheap Ncstar Scope.  Attached File |

No offense but your mount seems a bit high for my tastes. I may go that route though. Side question - do you note a lot of slop in the bolt when the action is open all the way?

Good lube and vigorous bolt action is requisite with this gun. |

Scope just barely clears the rear sight. I get the whole low to the bore thing, but i wouldn't want it any lower than it is. I can tell you it is a lot lower than what you have rigged there.

@drobs I was watching that same rifle on Gunbroker. Glad that a fellow ar15’er picked it up. I’m thinking about mounting a Leupold 2-7x on my Gunsite. do not want a a set-up that sits high enough to need a cheek piece.
If so, I’ll pull the rear site off and get some Warne rings. Now, what sling and swivels? |

Now, what sling and swivels? The crappy scope might be one of the reasons he sold it. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/846410850 I ordered a Leupold Scout Scope for mine. Plan is to take the junker Ncstar off, sight in the irons, then mount / sight in the Leupold. I've been doing some reading over here. Lots of Ruger GS Scout rifle owners: http://www.scoutrifle.org Their one and only board sponsor sells Ching Slings: www.andysleather.com I have an old 1907 style leather military rifle sling I plan to use.

A little update -
Shot a few rounds the other day out back of the house at 25 yds - was hitting clay pigeons on the ground with the iron sights. No issues there. My major complaint is the action. Lots of slop in the bolt requiring precise handling. I'm debating selling it. That action is garbage. What a disappointment. I've never handled a bolt action rifle with such side to side slop in the bolt. It's just about impossible to make a quick second shot from the shoulder. I contacted Savage and am having them build me a "custom" Left Hand 110 Scout. They will use receiver, accu-trigger, and stock from a Left Hand Desert Tan Tactical with the barrel, rail, and sights off a Right Hand 110 Scout. They gave me a MSRP of $1110. My dealer is charging me $1050. I'll hold on to the Ruger until the Savage gets here and then make a decision on the Ruger. |

My dealer is charging me $1050. I looked at the RGS and the Mossberg MVP. Then I somehow found the Savage Scout. Seems to get good reviews so I had my FFL order one in .308. Still waiting for it but it should be here very soon. Should be around $700 after tax and FFL fees, so not a bad price. I ordered the Vortex Crossfire II Scout scope for it, and the Daniel Defense mount for it- both have good mil discounts. Those will be here next week. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-crossfire-ii-2-7x32-vplex-moa-scout-scope.html |
