    New Savage 11 Scout - coming to Canada?

    I've been seriously eyeing the new scout (http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/11Scout)

    Will it be coming to Canada, and will Wolverine stock it? Tax time is coming up..

    (I ask here only because I see Wolverine stocked the previous model - the 10 scout)

    Can't wait to hear!

    Curious as well. These definitely caught my eye.

    Aside from the new larger box mag, what sort of differences are there between this and the previous savage scout? I liked the feel of that one, though the sights didnt seem as robust as the GSR

    Curious if the 10's in 7.62x39 are still going to be produced...

    Looks like adjustable length of pull spacers, extra sling mount, adjustable cheep piece, a new front sight with protective "ears" and a threaded barrel with a brake.

    I'm a huge Savage fan and a larger scout rifle fan, but I can't get past the rear sight.

    It could really use some rabbit ears for protection, what where they thinking.

    Looks like a booger to be flicked off the back end of the receiver.

    Close up the gap under scope mount?

    Other than that, looks like a solid winner.

    I agree. A more robust and easier to adjust (click adjustment) rear sight, and a picatinny rail would finish the renovation quite nicely.

    All valid questions/comments (I don't know about the cheekpiece). I still think despite some potential issues, this seems like a solid package at an attractive price.

    There's a video on YouTube... thee shooter has trouble seating the mag. He closes the bolt, aims, and 'click'.

    It would be nice if that was all due to the new scout having a double-detent mag arrangement like the Steyr scout, but I haven't read anything to back up my wild speculation.

    Also, the exchange rate is going to sting. Still, I think it's time to start scrimping - I think I want one of these.
