There’s also a dealer exclusive walnut stock that Ruger lists at 6.7 pounds, which can be a compromise amongst the composite (6.2) additionally the laminate designs like the one evaluated. It’s gorgeous, too, most likely the one I’d prefer if I do it. I’m a scout concept fanboy although it’s basically a weapon for a world that is fictionalbarring dystopia). Thankfully my inability to commit on willingness to blow between your Steyr and also the Ruger has held my from purchasing one after all… up to now.
Great rifle. Mine is stock, aside from the Nikon M308 scope, synthetic mag and Spec War suppressor/muzzle break. My children has shot numerous Wyoming deer and antelope along with it, mostly one shot kills, including a 365 garden one shot affair. A feeling heavy, but plenty accurate. Better yet, mine just are priced at $600 after trading within the value from the Savage raffle winnings.
Save for ahead train, iron sight no body bothers to make use of and 10-round field, can there be any advantageous asset of this rifle over, state, another Ruger like American Rifle with compact 4x range?
(indeed RAR seems to lack muzzle that is threaded because some advertising genius in Ruger thought that “ranch” contraption in strange calibers must have this honor)
Just a small qualm with the content, if 
i recall properly Mr. Cooper desired a semi-automatic action when you look at the Scout rifle. He opined that that would include weight that is too much therefore it had been never made a massive concern into the rifle.
Jeremy….sorry…lost wi-fi…178-gr Hornady ELDX Precision Hunter held 1.25 to my scout; within 1.5 MOA when it comes to 9 scouts we’d in Africa–Ruger, Steyr, 2 traditions, including one of several old GUNSITE “Sweethearts”.
My 18.5″, stainless variation has produced a .67 MOA, three shot team, with Hornady ELD-X. Significantly, this team ended up being shot from the cool barrel. As soon as experimentation relocated to greater counts that are round barrel heating began to wreak havoc with paper target precision. So far, my most useful ELD-X, five shot group (fired in reasonably quick succession) was about 1.5 MOA. I’m ok with this specific, because so many of us will need sub-MOA precision for no more than three successive rounds. We shot one 20 group that is round with Federal Lake City 7.62×51 NATO Ammunition. All 20 had been fired with in a period of approximately 3 to 4 mins. That barrel got hot!! The team measured simply over 3.5 MOA during the true point of aim.
This gun is loved by me!
you really need to view the reviews by gunblast on youtube.. far better precision than this review states.
you ought to view user reviews by gunblast on youtube.. definitely better precision than this review states. in terms of shooting a lot more than 3 rounds in succession it does matter if the n’t teams open up considering that the temperature off a suppressor are certain to get too unpleasant to see well anyhow. Whom shoots a lot more than three rounds searching? Even though you walk through to number of pigs you’d be happy to obtain three rounds down. This is simply not a self defense purposes rifle, get an ar or ak variation if you need that. the forward range train is a tale and really should be eliminated along with the peep sight. put in a suppressor and a moa or mildot scope along with a searching machine that is as quick as any length rifle that is standard.
Various scope, ammo, rifle, and groups that are 3-round likely to end in various precision dimensions. 1-2 MOA may be the norm with this rifle model with factory ammo and industry-standard test that is 5-round, and 2 MOA may be the objective for a Cooper-inspired Scout Rifle anyway. If We were shooting 3-round teams with this Federal TRU ammo it could have turned in a few half-MOA ones, however it could be deceptive as this rifle’s average precision with this ammo and appropriate, 5-round groups is 1.2 MOA. I possibly could most likely shoot some 1-round categories of 0 MOA, so this thing’s a laserlight, right?
