Anyone own or interested in a Ruger Gunsite Scout? Far as I can

This is at the top of my wishlist too.

It looks great and I'm sure it works, but if I wanted a scout rifle I'd probably go with the Savage Model 11. IIRC it's a couple hundred dollars cheaper and you're going to want that money for whatever scope you decide to put on it.

How are you supposed to use stripper clips with that optic?
2/10 would not harass enemies with

The model 11 has a shitty plastic stock and, more importantly, doesn't come in .223.

Eat a dick anon

Also a .223 boltgun with a 16" barrel os absolute autism

OP I've fondled and shot the ruger its a great gun buy with confidence, the newer models are lighter than the laminated models.

Had one on layaway but I didn't see the point of it since I already had my scout chingchong M1A and switched for a Tikka T3.
It does look pretty good.

10 round single-stack mag is retarded but I don't feel like buying a smaller mag. The bolt is kind of stiff with the mag and rouds in it but I don't know if that's just how bolt actions are or not. I prefer to just load rounds singularly into the chamber. More fun to shoot imo. It's pretty fucking accurate compared to my other guns, too. At 200 yards with unadjusted factory irons, it was shooting just a bit low and right. Took a pop can out after 3 shots and someone spotting where the shots were hitting. I love it. Wish I could afford to feed it more often. Kicks like a little mofo but I guess that's just what happens with a 16" .308 bolt action.

They're fun and if you are in the market for a bolt gun go for it. Honestly I enjoy my K31 more tho.

>>32278482
the RGS cant. you can load from the top with the ruger plastic mags tho.

The Gunsite Scout is a Ruger M77 Hawkeye with factory irons and DBM. The M77 is an American commercial mauser and is a damn good rifle, but the GSR makes it bloated and fat for no real benefit.

The Ruger mags are proprietary and expensive while being worse in every category when compared with AI mags, and an AI DBM conversion.

The LoP adjustment spacers are squishy and generally look like ass, if you need a longer/shorter rifle buy the correct length the first time. The rest of stock is well made and durable though.

Why the fuck would you want a scout rifle in .223?

Also, if you intend to use your rifle in more than one climate, plastic is better. A wooden-stocked gun zeroed in dry heat is likely to shoot god knows how far off in the cold and wet. This is not a problem with a good synthetic stock, and Savage makes VERY good synthetic stocks.

Even a halfway decent laminate is both temperature and humidity stable, while being MUCH more rigid than the ABS plastic shitstocks common to most cheap rifles. It's on par with the glass-filled-nylon stocks from Manners and McMillan.

.223 because I'm not hunting the most dangerous game. It's plenty for my needs.

>>32278991
Actually the rgs feeds from 10rd AIs so eat a dick

Do you even Cooper, faggots?

It's got nice aesthetics, hickok45 seemed to like it, and I'm probably just gonna use it to shoot coyotes and rabbits. The pelts sell better without Buick-sized holes in them.

>>32279341
I never said it didn't.

Also what's that got to do with the factory mags costing just as much but being inferior?

You can make a comparable rifle with an M77 Hawkeye and an EGW dbm kit that will be basically the same rifle minus the forward pic rail for about $140 less.

>>32279620
Cooper advocated for a low power eye relief scope on scout rifles but yeah they need to be .308 or another full power cartridge.

Nigger do you even youtube? Anyways, it's a decent rifle but expensive for what it is and too heavy unless you get one with a plastic stock.
