1 shot and maybe second follow up for single targets. 3-4 shots and everything's scattered anyway if it that's the type of hunting.
Anyway, not trying to ruin it for anyone else. It just doesn't appeal to me all that much.


The idea is that it's a general purpose rifle (which I'm sure you're aware). Yeah you can hunt with it but with a detachable magazine and quick target acquisition it can also make a fairly decent self defense rifle. What appeals to me most about this rifle is its compact size. It matches my hunting style in which I tend to walk about some.

Well put mate ! I LOVE Mine, it's just to easy to swing for snap shots and has a decent reach if you need to take those longer shots. And as Ive said before, diving into a big mob of goats or pigs, that 10 shot box comes in real handy :)

So how many are you getting when you "Dive In"?

I find it hard to get 1 or 2 before they all bugger off so 10shot mags aren't of any use to me. :lol:

You should have kept your mouth shut Lorgar, you've upset the Scout Fan Club.

A lot of people are going to be after you :P

He he.

I wasn't knocking it... Might have come off sounding a bit more negative than I intended.

I like a few things about Ruger, I have/had a Hawkeye in .308 and .243 which were fine rifles.

I get all the features of the Scout, they're just not for me.

Didn't mean to rain on anyone's parade, maybe I should have just shutup :lol:

I do love my Scout but can't argue with that.

You could always swap to a 5 shot mag and save yourself carrying around the extra 5 rounds and metal.

Just a thought.
