Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle
Just seen an ad for the Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle and after reading a bit more about am somewhat intrigued. Has anyone here seen one in the flesh? Or indeed know of any dealers in Europe stocking them?

Brigadier Bill Aldridge, commander of British forces in the South Atlantic, responded by saying: ‘I am not expecting to hand the islands over to anybody and therefore put us in a position to have to retake the islands.’

Export version? This is what the Aussies are talking about getting. Longer barrel and no flash suppressor:

It doesn't look as pretty like that

Might look OK with a smaller magazine - then it would look like a No. 5!

The picatinny rail looks too far forward. When you plonk a scope on it, the eye relief will be all wrong, the rail should be over the action not mounted on the barrels.
Looks a bit gash to me.One cannot begin to fathom the immensity of the fuck I do not give.

Agree with the smaller mag.
5 round box is plenty

I think it's tapped at the rear for conventional scope rings also.
It seems the forward rail is part of the whole (American) scout-rifle concept that enables both-eyes-open sighting, with a low power scope.
Apparently they do a 5 round mag for it as well.Last edited by FHA; 12-05-2011 at 16:29.

It seems the magazines are Accuracy International pattern. Is that still a British company?
