Where are all of the Ruger Gunsite Scouts? I have been looking for a left handed stainless model since October but no one has had them in stock. It’s like Ruger has stopped production. Does anyone have an idea?
Im in the same boat. Ive got an old blued one LH i love and use but no luck picking up a new one. In fact i cant find any of the new LH Hawkeye hunter series rifles. They are only offering 300 win and 6.5 Manbun but ive want to pick up obe maybe but no dice. I just might have to spring for an Weatherby ultrlight instead.

But yeah, i like the scout rifle a lot and hope its not discontinued. Im also certain Ruger is more focused on building right hand Ruger Americans and those small LCP 380 and LCR revolvers than selling to the limited left handed folks who like the Hawkeye 77 action. Im happy to at least have one but wish Ruger would get in gear and off a few lefties for us.

I've got a LH Scout in stainless/laminated. It is the ugliest rifle I own, by far! grin

No kidding. I had a lefty 223 for a while as well. Must have been a 2 a.m. design after a rough night of drinking. That adjustable LOP stock design is the stupidest piece of $hit Ruger has come up with. They carried it over to several different models when Boddington was with them and helped design it.
The one redeeming virtue was it had integral action scope mounts, the scout BS rail could be deleted, and Ruger would even send the correct filler screws for free. The threaded brake wasn't too much of an issue- a thread protector easily fixed that. But, it still looked like a horses ass, and didn't shoot much better. So, sold it and picked up a Ruger American 223 LH SS. That one shoots great and looks like a real rifle.

The Scout concept has sure F'd up a lot of good guns.

Mine shoots well, and I use it suppressed.

i was able to find one used and it is not leaving home or just for shooting or hunting not for another home.
