I would not entirely count out the Aimpoint red dot scopes with 2moa dot they can be very effective for a couple hundred yards.
But  traditional glass does seem to be more clear due to the coatings used on red dot type scopes with the exception of some Trijicon scopes.

Well too late for me.  I have already committed to this scope.
I do requre something with magnification... to be effective at even 100 yards.  My eyes just can't handle that distance accurately without help.  I certainly understand the advantages of the red dot, it just prevents me from shooting accurately at any significant distances that are much more likely to happen.

Just noticed this thread.

Just for the record the Swaro Z6 does not have enough eye relief to be used as a scout scope.

      BAH, I didn't realize that the scope is 30mm and the ruger's "shipped with" rings are too small.
       
      Any suggestions of which rings to get for the rifle?  Guess I need scope covers as well.
