Only a mother could love that baby:)
:D
Wait until it is a teenager. It will be nothing but trouble.
He had a Ruger .44 semi for years, took it to Australia and it was put through the grinder...apparently after handing it over, he went out side and had an acute sentimental moment...neat little shooter, great in the bush...
I want one of these for Christmas... nice to hold and i like the adjustable LOP.
They have a 223 version out now in the US, that would be nice too... at least my elder son could use it them... hmmmm

Who ever designed that rifle was either pissed out of his brain or really likes ugly
You mean they were drinking Waikato? That would explain many design faults in the world.
Fair few blokes over here have jumped on the Ruger Scout wagon, not really my cup of tea, but as has been said beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. I just cant get the idea of having those magazines hanging way down low, but can see they would be useful if blatting away at big mobs of pigs or a goat cull. The bottom of the butt could have finished a bit better. Hope he enjoys it. :thumbsup:
Why oh why do they not use a std double stack mag,eg ar10 or m14?
I bought one but could not stand how far the mag stuck out for only ten rounds,don't get wrong-ten is plenty but it does stick out a long way for a ten shot mag.
Sold it without even blooding it and built up a scout style blr.
Talking to big brother as I write this...he says she might be ugly but she still performs:D...no complaints although he has smoothed the action down and modified the stock ever so slightly :D He has removed the pickaninny rail...not necessary.
He has shortened the LOP to 121/2 inches, 2.7 Leopold Firedot scope, 30ml tube and action is (in his words) slick as snail snot on wet roof! If it could cook he would marry it...(he's been in Oz too long)!!:D A bit loud but no louder than his Ruger 77 Mark II .306...he got some aromatherapy today firing a Tikka .338 at a target 300 metres away...fanblimingtastic...
Hand loads for the .308 are 150grain round nose soft point Hornaby bullets, 43 grains of ADI powder 2206H and is printing a twenty cent piece at 80 metres. He wants to go up to 180grain, hollow point round nose...should be really good deer stoppers...
It is my understanding that a prototype (fitted with an M14 magazine) was taken to Gunsite to get their instructor's opinions but that the guys at Gunsite advised Sturm Ruger not to use the M14 system because there are too many cheap and nasty clones on the market, hence the adoption of a licensed Accuracy International magazine design.
AR10magazines? the original ones with the dodgy reputation or the new ones that apparently require a different mag well design? Plenty of chances for confusion there!
