Ruger Scout Rifle

Ruger Scout Rifle Capacity

The Ruger Scout Rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO) and feeds from AICS pattern magazines giving the rifle capacities of 5 and 10 rounds.  The Ruger Scout Rifle was the first successful rifle to hit the market that uses a standardized box magazine, so thank you Ruger for being awesome and getting the industry to quit being boring.

Ruger Scout Rifle Ergonomics

When you pick up a Ruger Scout Rifle, you notice immediately that it feels like a traditional deer rifle.  The bolt handle is directly over the trigger for a very easy transition, the safety is located towards the back of the receiver and the magazine release is located along the front of the trigger guard behind the magazine.  The stock includes a half-pistol grip, the grip and forend are aggressively checkered, and a rubber buttpad sits on the back of the stock to absorb some recoil.

Ruger Scout Rifle Fit-N-Finish

The Ruger Scout Rifle is built with steel components that are hardened to Ruger’s standards which are much higher than the industry average and then they’re blued to prevent rust and retain oil.  The stock is made of laminated wood which is very resistant to splitting and is sanded smooth and sealed with a matte clear coat finish.
