Thinking of buying a Ruger Scout?

[Lefty14615]

Finally got to work up some loads for my new 308 Ruger Scout. I think it's a keeper. Here are 3 rounds at 100yds off sand bags. I have a 223 version that is just as accurate. Couldn't be happier.

No Pics? I need to get my .450 Scout to the range this weekend. I've had it far too long for it to still be a virgin...

You mounted the scope the way I would if I had a scout. Came very close to buying one years ago and decided on a CZ 527 instead.

I swapped out the factory rail for this longer one and added QD rings so I can use my thermal on it.

Good to finally see a bench set up with the proper orientation.

Nice. How do you like your can?

 

[Lefty14615]

I couldn't be happier with my can. Went with the SilencerCo Scyth TI. Made me a believer. If you would like to discuss in depth my number is 512-658-6813

Bought my Gunsite Scout in Jan 2016. in .308. Great all around rifle. OEM rail had a ghost ring that the aperture was too small for these old tired eyes, so replaced it with an XS Picatinny Rail that had a larger aperture on the ghost ring. Burris P.E.P.R. mount and a XTR Burris 1 x 6 scope mounted to the rear, liike I said, old tired eyes. Finally added a Yankee Hill Flash Hider. Not that I wanted to impale any zombies, but just thought it looked bad-ass.

I have a 18" bbl. left-hand version in .308 with a Leupold scope mounted forward over the barrel. I like it and I like the way it shoots. Five shot groups with match ammo at 100 yards run .75" to 1.25".

Yours is a 16" stainless? If so, we're shooting the same rifle, mine with a Hybrid 46 instead of the Scyth. ...and the disability... (pretty good shooting!)

I want a can, but don't want to send my info to the ATF, hopefully that will change come January.

In fact, I better start saving my pennies just in case. If it doesn't change, I'll just have to use them for more guns or more ammo ;-)

I have two, a little GemTec for a .22 or, and that multi caliber Hybrid 46. Of the two, the one for the .22 is the most fun for the buck! I shoot the crap out of that on a Ciener equipped AR, a 10/22 and several Ruger pistols.

A good friend of mine has two such rifles and we shoot at our local range two to three times a week, and both are very accurate indeed. Their overall size makes them ideal for a hunting rifle as well as their excellent accuracy.

Yeah, my experience with Scout style scopes is...That they SUCK!

They take some getting used to, but they are not much different than a red dot. Shoot with both eyes open, make sure it has enough eye-relief.
