Been wanting one of the Ruger Scout rifles for a while, but held back because of owning a CZ 550 FL in .308 winchester that's very accurate and I will never sell it. Finally bought a Ruger Scout rifle .308 and what a winner IMO. I'm not much into the tactical stuff but this scout rifle will make a great hunting rifle for up close. I'm going to use the open sights for the time being, they are excellent. I see Ruger make's a 5 round mag now so I will need to pick up one of those. Never shot a scout style scope but I have a feeling I will like it. The other Ruger in the picture is a RSI stainless/walnut 7X57.
