Nice writeup, kinda cool seeing Jeff Quin on a THR post. Just out of curiosity what are the black boxes on the last pic censoring? Handguns?
Thanks. Must have been a pixelation prob with my camera.

That scout rifle is on my wish list. I hope Ruger continues to make it if and when Ruger drops the Gunsite name.
I was hoping that they would offer it in other chamberings. I'd love one of these rifles if it were chambered in 7mm-08.
the only thing wrong with it is the bolt is on the wrong side.
AI magazines cost about $75 a pop.
I'll bet the substitution of a reinforced fiberglass stock would lower the weight to 6.5lbs. I wonder why they are not offering that as an option or alternate....
I would have liked to have seen some 100 yard groups with various types of ammo.
Plus chronograph readings of the aforementioned ammo types.
Hmmm...single stack mag probably negates the stripper-clip charging anyway. So what's the reasoning for the forward-mounted optic, again?
I have a few questions concerning this rifle for the OP if you dont mind.
1. What is the iron sight radius in inches?
2. Any specifics on chamber dimensions?
3. Any future plans to produce a version sporting an 18in bbl.
4. A chrome lined bbl in the future possibly?
5. You mentioned that they decided to go with a single stack over a double for reliability sake, but in your opinion, might have they done this for the sake of having a mag well that is narrower then it would have been with a double stack mag, thus reducing the over all weight of the rifle?
Thanks in advance

Was mentioned that a southpaw version will be in the future.
Ruger is working on polymer mags also.
I WANT this rifle, though. A lot. By the sounds of things, it's the rifle to have when you can only have one.
Ruger new a poly stock would lower the weight, reason for laminate was to have a solid stock whereas stock could also be used for fighting, a hollow plastic stock will not ring the bell like a solid laminate stock.
i sure hope that is a joke. butt stroking people with a scout rifle? seriously?
they could have gone to a double stack/single feed magazine.
This rifle was designed to be your one rifle you take with you when the SHTF. Serious.
but then they couldn't screw you out of $100 dollars per mag while forcing you to only have 10 rounds because people would be converting other mags to work with it.
If they make one in 338 federal or 358 win with a 5 round polymer magazine, I will happily buy one, put an aimpoint on it and use it as a brush gun.
