I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
What length is your Kimber's barrel?
Mine is a threaded 22-in. factory tube.
Right now it's got an Aimpoint Comp M2 on the pic rail w a QR ring and a nylon sling with four Federal (V308VM110) in belly it weighs 6 lb 2.23 oz.
I zeroed it with good ol' Powershok 150s week before the 'Rona hit.
Going to tweak it to the new Varmint & Predator 110 V-Max load rated at 3,300 fps tomorrow to celebrate Memorial Day.

When I first messed with an M1A Scout 20+ years ago I settled on a small Burris LER scope with a duplex reticle. It has a 1" tube. No illumination and is 2.5x or 2.75x IIRC. It is somewhat limited in functionality but was about the best thing I could find at the time that fit the Scout idea.
Ten years later I got a Ruger bolt gun. The same lack of "good" scout scopes soon became apparent and really nothing had changed from my last experience with Scout optics.
Where are we today? Is anyone making an LER scope with a 30mm or larger tube with an illuminated reticle and some of the other "modern" features that are now pretty standard on even the less expensive scopes?

Interesting! I did not know that he was, or may have been, cross-eye-dominant. I am left-eye-dominant, and had noticed that I could use a good scout scope reasonably well, from the right shoulder, without having to totally shut my left eye, whereas using a conventional scope quickly, and well, with both eyes open, required that I shoot from the left shoulder.
My “good” scout scout, I mean Leupold, as opposed to a cheaper off-brand. I could only do this with a Leupold Scout Scope.
Because I normally shoot rifles lefty, and so few left-hand scout rifles have been build with left-hand actions, I have not (yet) bought a scout rifle.
