Ruger's new scout rifle

[robcoe]

The price is a bit steep, I wish it came in stainless, and I hate that stock, but otherwise looks ok.

[pennys dad]

+1 on price.
+1 on price for mags
It looks cool though

[VegasND]

I've owned Ruger bolt actions and was pleased with them so once I heard about this I was looking forward to seeing it.

Never mind.

Id pick one up, were it not for the price tag. My 600 mohawk could use a buddy.

I like the concept, don't really care about gunsite. Never really heard of it, honestly.

I'll like it when used ones hit the market at $5-600. Otherwise, it looks like a cool little brush gun. Ditch the FH and put on a nice comp and Bob's your uncle.

That about sums it up for me too , will grab a used one later on down the road and replace that HIDEOUS FS ( At least it's threaded @ 5/8x24 tpi for easy replacement )

Good article here.... http://thefiringline.com/forums/show....php?p=4373667


What the hell were they thinking ?????





This is nice, very solid....




After 4,170 rounds they got this 30 round group @ 50yds

My Ruger M77 Hawkeye performs well. I had a M77 MkII in .270 as well. I kick myself for selling that rifle. So I guess I'm a Ruger bolt action fan.
We'll see how it is reviewed after some time and hopefully the price will come down a bit.

I have one in 300WM.... it's a sub moa shooter

I agree wholeheartedly. The offered barrel length is ridiculous for .308. Let's talk 22 or 24", and no muzzle device.

It's a scout rifle, it's supposed to be lightweight and handy.

That bolt handle makes the gun look like a bubba job..... Reminds me of the FR8

newbie here. Will the threaded flash suppresor prevent it from being California legal

Only semi-auto centerfire rifles are governed by the state's AW laws. Bolt actions/rimfires are exempt. Just has to have 16 inch barrel and 26 inch OAL length.

If it was $700 with a 18" or 20” barrel I would be very interested.

[bombadillo]

Anybody else make something comparable to this from the factory w/o the silly flash hider on it?? I am somewhat interested and really like the compact sub 20" BBL but would change a few things.

Can someone post a pic, please? I'm firewalled.

I'm sure barrel options are soon to follow. Then again I'm sure a gunsmith would make short work of that ugly cage.
