Just bought my second Gunsite Scout rifle.
At the range yesterday, 1" groups were easy, without any fiddling or experimentation. What was really a surprise, was the very pleasant recoil. Apparently the muzzle brake is quite effective. i still plan on removing the brake and replacing it with only a thread protector.
I removed the scout scope base, and installed a 3x9 Compact Leupold in the conventional scope location. For whatever reason, this scope has less eye relief than I'd like, so I tried a conventionally sized 4.5x14 Leupold, which is longer, and provides a more optimum eye relief. More scope than necessary for such a rifle, so later, more scope experimentation will still be in the works. In the meantime I'm quite pleased with this little rifle. 8)
