"I" like mines after I changed the comp out. Put a Mark AR 3-9 mildot scope on it and it's a great shooter for the price.

I love mine. Left it all stock, threw a sling on it and its good to go.
Eventually will put a new comp or flash hider on it. maybe an eotech. still a fun gun no matter what.

I love mine. It is super accurate, compact, and always goes bang. They make very good general purpose rifles.

I have heard others describe the rifle as accurate, but not a precision rig. Do you agree with that comment? I am sure it is built what it is meant for, a relatively light weight durable hunting rifle that packs a punch with larger game animals.

Mine is a great shooter. Definitely a tank!! The 10 round mag with the sling is a no go because the 10 round mag is huge. The action compared to my Winchesters and my Weatherby is rough but it go's bang every time and it looks cool.

Install the sling on the side.

Bruce wished he owned a Droid RAZR.

I have one and like it alot. I use the forward mounted scope on an XS full length rail. With QD rings I can switch back & forth between "scout" and regular scope mounting but as a practical matter have always used the scout scope configuration.

Cheek weld can be a bit of a challenge. I use a Weaver 2.5 to 8X pistol scope (works for me, I use all the buttstock spacers) and Burris low QD. There's about one credit card width between scope & rail. Still, I added a Cheekeeze "stick on" riser. It's well made, fits right and stays put.

I switched out to a PRI brake, pretty much eliminates the 308's modest recoil. I found accuracy to be much better than anticipated, using 168 BTHP and IMR 4064.

What's not to like? It's a cool gun. You can configure it anyway you want but I like the factory sights, just the way it is.

Sold! going to get it now and possibly the Savage Axis XP .223

Gunsite Scout.

Folks,



Just purchased mine, did 10 day wait at Guns Direct. Have yet to shoot it, put a Redfield Revenge on it. I thought about selling it no takers, I am glad. Cannot wait to try it. A2

Just picked one up yesterday in stainless. Feels like a solid carbine.

Can't wait to take it to the range!

Didn't even realize that the stainless is 18", but the blued is 16.5". Wonder why.
