Thread: Leupold M8 2x. Worth it?

I don't think scout scopes are the best, or even 3rd best, answer to any question, in today's world

I agree entirely

But the question lacked context by the OP

What, how and why do you want to use a Scout scope

I use them on repop muzzleloaders to avoid conflict with the hammer and nipple
Some guys use them to keep top eject lever actions clear

It really all depends on your use and application

I will gladly elaborate in the hopes there may be an alternative to the scout scope .

1. The Rossi is a top ejecting lever action.
2. I have astigmatism, so red dots are a bit iffy, but not terrible.
3. The Leupold M8 would look good on the blued/wood rifle
