Buy recommendations Ruger Gunsite Scout Scope Switch

Post image

Hey everyone, first off not my picture just one off the internet.

Picked up a gunsite scout and have been considering switching from the front mounted scout scope to a traditional mounted lpvo and full rail. In my opinion an lpvo is just a modern evolution of the scout concept and since the ruger takes box mags the whole feeding the gun with stripper clips thing is moot.

A big reason I’m even considering this route is so I can run a top mounted red dot and still fire with NVG’s on.

Anyone switch over their scout or just have general info on any upgrades or work you did to yours?

I have the xs site rail with the peep sight on mine and I love it. I have tried it with a few normal scopes and it’s definitely the way to go

That’s the rail I’ve got my eye on, seems to be pretty scarce here at the moment though. Where’d you find yours?

There are plenty of new ones on eBay.

None will ship to Canada from what I’m seeing?

EDIT— Got ahold of one of the sellers (a store in the states) and they shipped it through their website not eBay (who wouldn’t let them) Rails on the way!
