I finally made up my mind on the optics for the GSR. I stuck a leupold long eye relief 2.5x28 on it tonight. Aiming at some "targets" around the house showed that it was really easy to pick them up quickly either with my traditional squint, or with both eyes wide open.
I know that this post is worthless without pics... so here are a couple. Sorry for the quality... phone camera is lousy.
In deference to those on mobile devices, I'm putting in links to the images rather than embedding them.

Hopefully it'll be dry enough out at my buddy's place tomorrow to take her for a test spin.

Re: 2 .308 Bolt Guns, 2 Different Visions....
TAM is singlehandedly raising Ruger's stock value 
I picked up a Ruger Gunsite Scout at the Lewisville gun show this weekend. I'd been wanting one for a while and TAM's review pushed me over the edge. I haven't taken it to the range yet, but it sure does feel good on my shoulder. After finals I'm going to have to head out to Elm Fork and see how she shoots.
Not sure what I'm going to do for optics yet. I'm leaning toward an eotech XPS-2 (love it on my AR15) but am also wondering if a long eye relief 1-4x or similar might be a better choice. My eyes aren't all that young and reaching out beyond 100 yards without magnification isn't feasible.
