I'm not big on 30mm scopes on light rifles, but a VX-6 1-6x on a .308, the 18.7" barrel model would seem to be a versatile rifle.


And fun they are. For years I've wanted a carbine that shot flatter than my .44Mag, .30-30, .375 win and .45-70 rifles and had iron sights my old eyes can actually use. The 18.7" barreled .308 Scout fills this bill quite nicely.

At the moment I have a 3-9x scope on it for load development but intend to go naked later on. The peep sight works well for ranges I would use this rifle and the 3- and 5-round synthetic mags are quieter, fit more snugly and are generally more comfortable to use than the steel 10-round mag.

No suppressor yet but that, too is planned for the future.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
