Uhm, easily mount a scout scope. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

What kind of advantage do the offer over a traditional scope or red dot type optic?

Advantages over:
Traditional = speed.
Red Dot = magnification while maintaining the "both eyes open" method. Also, no batteries.
Scout scopes aren't for everyone. They're a "love them or hate them" proposition for most shooters. I love them (and have traditional scopes, an EoTech and a Trijicon TR21 Accupoint 1-4x optics on other guns).

SIDE: I like the EoTech the least, and am in the process of selling it to friend.

got me curious as well...
i was really tempted to go with a gsr at the gunshow and just use the extra cash to get a scout scope. The only two complaints I have about the GSR: 1) The factory STEEL magazines "wobble" in the magazine well. 2) The barrel isn't chrome lined, and I think many people will use their GSR's as "hard use / survival guns" that would benefit from chrome lining. A stainless steel version would solve #2, and I've been told the newer plastic mags solve #1. I would not, however, want the plastic mags since they're completed exposed below the rifle and thus subject to impact (for example: going prone hard and fast).

Not to derail the thread too badly...but anyone have the CZ 527 Carbine in either 223 or 762? Just curious...and it's a short bolt action right? I'm on topic, no? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Never heard of it. I think a 1-4 trijicon or a 2.5-10 trijicon would be great on a scout rifle

The acogs are nice I like my dads two but I like the power to zoom with the 1-4 power better. You get
Red dot and scope advantages!
