Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting New deer rifle for the upcoming season?

I don't know if I'm drawing deer this year, but I have a Ruger Gunsite Scout on the way - a lefty .308 Win. I don't know about the "scout" concept, but I do know the units I applied for this year would include me tip-toeing through the pines. A short-barreled, quick-handling rifle with the bolt on the proper side and a wooden stock seem about right for the job. I've wanted a .308 Win. for a while, plus I've been shooting Ruger bolts for several decades now, so it should be familiar.
