Ruger Gunsite Scout

[leftyk82]

Anyone have one? I've got nothing in 308 and was curious about TGOers thoughts.

[wareagle]

You don't want one. Atl least until I get one. It's hard enough finding one in this state already.

Seriously, I have never held or seen one I person, but I am definitely going to purchas one. I think they are best looking scout rifle to date.

Ha. I will defer to you kind sir.

Yes I've heard great things, not quite ready to buy yet.

I have one. It is an absolute beauty. Haven't gotten to try it out at any seriously long distances, but I obliterated a golf ball at 75 yards using the iron sights with ease. I love shooting it and I plan to do so again some time this week. In fact I'm currently planning on Tuesday at the TWRA range. I don't think I'd mind too much if a couple people want to play with it a bit.

TWRA Range? Cheatham?

[Ebow1]

Yeah. Probably should've specified I meant the Cheatham one.

[mikegideon]

Most TWRA ranges have the crappy 3 day schedule. Cheatham may be the only one that doesn't

[Ebow1]

Cheatham is open every day I think. Noon till dark. Never an RO present though.

[Ebow1]

Also it occurs to me I need to talk to GnL about a little bit of leather work for a knife sheath, so I'll probably pick up some .45 and take my Ruger 1911 there instead of taking the rifle out to Cheatham.

[Ebow1]

Scratch that, just checked their website and it seems their leatherworker is out due to an injury. Cheatham it is! Also I need to find a leatherworker.

[tennhome]

Have one. Very pleased.

[Ebow1]

Also it looks like Thursday is going to be the range day. If anybody wants to keep up to date just send me a message, as I'm sure the plans are bound to change and I need to stop hogging this thread with my own personal whatnot.

It looks like a good concept, but I think a good AR10 style rifle would do about the same job with a faster rate of fire.

And more weight.

To be fair to col cooper i dont think red dots and magnifiers were available when he came up with the concept.

[wareagle]

I picked up a M77 Gunsite today. Super nice rifle.

[bvarnell]

I got one about 5 or 6 months ago. Shot about 2-3" group at 100 yds., which I thought was pretty for peep sights and old eyes.

I still can't decide what kind of optics to put on it. Keep thinking either an EOTEC or extended eye relief.

My friend has one and he absolutely loves the thing. Very accurate and very light. Not to mention its a sexy looking rifle
