Go ahead and grab one of those in 308. I've got one in 6.5 Creedmoor that shoots pretty nice. I couldn't say exactly how nice because I haven't had a chance to bag it off the bench just yet, but it's and inch or better off the hood of the truck, so I have to think it will shine. Mine was in the rotation to come down to the pig hunt this year, but work got in my way.

Thanks, seems most owners do like them a lot, though some folks are less than thrilled with the Scout Rifle concept. I've also noted that while a number of makers use a 10" twist, a 12" twist will actually stabilize bullets that are longer, than I am likely to use.
