Are you looking for a scout rifle scope, or a red dot?

Well he could use a red dot or a scout scope, but they are not the same thing. If it were me, I would buy the Leupold VX Freedom IER Scout scope. I think they run around $300
No first hand knowledge but . . .
My research is pointing me toward the Burris scout scope for my M1A SOCOM 16.

I have a Burris Pistol scope I use on my converted PCC Mauser, its 2-7x32. Long eye relief. Would be a great idea for a scout scope.
Thanks for the inputs. He confused me... further explanation is that due to his eyesight, he is unable to actually make use of a 'scope.
I think what he was trying to ask me was for a recommendation for a red dot on a 'scout rifle' (that being a Springfield M1A scout model).
I don't think he understands that 'scout scope' is a specific thing
At any rate, I pointed him at Leupold because my (limited) experience is that they make good optics.

He might be referring to a scope with an illuminated aim point like TRijicon's--which is excellent, BTW (not sure if they have it long eye relief though). I think Leupold and others also offer that feature.

Does your brother have astigmatism? That might make a difference too. If he’s got astigmatism a red dot might be useless, whereas, an lvpo would work
He's got an astigmatism and (I think) prism prescription.
I'm at a complete loss as to what he is asking for. At any rate, he followed standard form and bought something else completely:

The .308 BDC flavor of it.
