The Ruger Scout Rifle is the perfect lightweight, hard-hitting, do-it-all bolt-action rifle. The one rifle to have if you could have only one. The Scout’s forward-mounted Picatinny rail allows the use of modern optics, like an intermediate eye relief scope (not included), for “both eyes open” sighting and rapid target acquisition. The built-in, accurate sighting system includes an adjustable ghost ring rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight. Integral scope mounts machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for included scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field. Rounds are fed from a detachable box magazine with push-forward magazine release just forward of the trigger guard.
The stock features a soft rubber buttpad with buttpad spacers that allow the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters or varying levels of outerwear (three, 1/2” spacers included). Lightweight synthetic stock models feature a forward aluminum bedding block and rear aluminum pillar that positively locate the receiver. A rugged and reliable glass-reinforced nylon trigger guard and magazine well are perfectly inlet in the stock.
The free-floating, cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity. A non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented and features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. The three-position safety is easily accessible and allows the shooter to lock the bolt or to load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged. The rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt completes the package.
