I sure would be interested in scout scopes , but I have some reservations of putting one on my ruger scout .I plan on using the scout as a hunting tool , I understand about having more vision and picking up things around me ,but it has some drawbacks .One of them is being forward mounting it must catch more rain where it is less protected and unless you are using a rain guard you wont see much unless you continually clean.
I rarely hunt in the rain , but I have been caught in showers and after the rain the trees remain wet for hours ,just a thought that snow can accumulate just after one small pass through the limbs
My question is ,Have you guys experienced these issues? Minor, i understand but I lost a good buck after breaking through the spruce and unable to clear my traditional scope in time ,your thoughts please ,I dont want it to sound like ya just clear your scope because in real life you may need to shoot very quickly ,maybe not to shoot a deer ,but to save your life .
Also scope covers are not an option where I hunt ,this is not on the corner of a corn field ,I am comfortable to do less than more when the chips are down and flipping scope covers is not a step I want to deal with
Awaiting your response
