PVT-
I owned one for about a year. It came with a great trigger and was a very accurate rifle. However, at over nine pounds all up, it failed the core requirement that the Scout be handy. In the end, I sold it with little regret and have found that my trusty Marlin 30-30 can do most of the work of the Ruger GSR in a much trimmer, lighter, handier package.
Hope that helps.
PS- Ruger is unveiling a synthetic stock version. Perhaps it addresses the weight issue?
