[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2071814, member: 4235"] I have an FR-8 scout, and I put a Bushnell TRS-25 micro red dot on it. I think it works really well for that type of rifle and the type of shots you are most likely to take with it. One really nice thing about my setup is that the red dot co-witnesses with the iron sights. I don't think that would work on the Ruger though... it doesn't look like its optic mount sits low enough. If I had a Ruger, I would probably go with either a red dot, or a standard eye relief 1-(n)x scope. IMO, since the Ruger doesn't accept stripper clips, there is no real reason to go with a forward mounted optic other than to leave the rear iron sight in place. Here is my rifle with the red dot: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i281.photobucket.com_albums_kk201_henschman_guns_FR_8scout3_zpsce5dfd1c.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i281.photobucket.com_albums_kk201_henschman_guns_FR_8scout2_zps845fbaf3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i281.photobucket.com_albums_kk201_henschman_guns_FR_8scoutco_witness_zps5877668e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i281.photobucket.com_albums_kk201_henschman_guns_FR_8scout1_zps0c5c5d57.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
