I was surprised as well and concluded there are about two viable “scout” options. Consider the leupold pistol scopes. The others leatherwood hi-Lux I think it’s called seemed like entry level. Also Burris I think makes one. I tend to over think things so I measured from an eyeball on the stock...

I installed a smith enterprise good iron muzzle break on my scout squad and now the elevation is around 600 when zeroing on 25 yard battle sight zero target. The smith enterprise MB does appear to be ever so slightly taller (need a new battery in my caliper or I could say exactly how much) could...

Yea I really liked it with just the irons. Not sure I’m thrilled with the red dot setup. But since I’ve drilled holes for the cheek riser, I’m kind of torn at this point. But I agree, men stormed beaches in Normandy with the garand with just iron sights. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m not thrilled with the red dot. And I feel like I’m putting a restrictor plate on a Lamborghini. I wish there were more options for “scout” long eye relief optics. Definitely something I am considering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Could you elaborate on the issue you had? I have experienced a few fails to feed on my new scout squad and I’ve been figuring the gas system may be the issue. Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks for the info on the steam. I didn’t think about that! It worked great to get everything out/off but that’s not a good trade off if it effects the integrity of the stock. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Just signed up thought I’d show the main reason why I’m here, my new Scout Squad (originally in black polymer) in an old refurbished walnut stock: Stock was stripped using citri-strip followed by steaming. Used Hopes pure Tung oil for the finish. Stock was very rough when I got it, really...
