The CANADIAN Ruger Gunsight Scout Discussion Thread

I shoot 150AB out of mine. 1 ragged hole with 5 shots at 100.

Need to order some 180s for my 300 and will load a few for the scout and see how it likes the heavier bullets.

Mine shoots fantastic with factory Hornady American White Tail - 150gr Interlocks, however after seeing how my friend's .243 slings TSXs, I'd like to give those monos a go.
 
Haven't shot anything with it but I don't forsee any issue inside 400 yards (2000 fps impact)

I have the 18.7" barrel length, which probably gives a solid 100 fps over the 16.1". This is my do-all hunting load, but for strictly hunting deer I switch to 150gr SST, also with H4895. Zippy load, shoots very well. No high pressure signs but I'm likely right on the edge. Here's my Labradar info for both loads :

150gr Barnes TTSX

Wish I had a photobucket account, but all I did as I have zero interest in a scout scope mount (tried it on a marlin) was I cut the XS rail short and took the part that extends out past the receiver off. I have a 3x9x40 vortex mounted in leupold low QRW rings. Shes tight but fits. Thinking about a 2-7 to make the package even more compact

That would certainly work! Good idea.
 
Just returned from my first hunt carrying the GSR. I'm really quite impressed by the little guy and can see why guys are saying it's becoming their go-to hunting rifle. I set mine up with the XS rail and a Burris 2-7X32 Scout scope mounted in Leupold QRW rings and a Rhodesian sling by Andy's Leather. Wasn't too sure about the scout scope but I really do like it. It's my first Burris and I am happy with it as well. The optics are crisp and clear, with just a little bit of blurring and a yellow tinge on the very outside edge of the field of view. Not really noticeable on 2X but definitely there at 7X. The eye box is very generous and it comes up with a perfect picture every time at low power. Acquiring and tracking with both eyes open is effortless. 7X is a tiny bit less forgiving, but by no means a problem in any way. I have a Leupold VX-R 2-7X33 in Warne QRs to mount conventionally, but the Burris works so well I may just keep it set up that way. The VX-R is on another rifle right now. When I get the optic I'm waiting for, for that rifle I will mount the VX-R back on the GSR and do a side by side with the Burris.

I really like how handy the rifle is with the 18.5" barrel. I carried it with both the Magpul 5 and the Ruger 3 round magazines. The 3 round is slightly more comfortable, but the rifle balances well with both. My only gripe if I had one would be the weight. All in, loaded up, my rifle comes in at 9lbs even (9lbs. 3ozs with the Magpul modified for 6 rounds). It is pretty much exactly the same weight as my M700 BDLs sporting 22" barrels. Not saying it's too heavy, just that I would have thought losing 3.5" of barrel would have shed a little weight as well. All in all I'm really happy with the rifle. Kinda bought it on a lark just to see what all the hubub was about, but I think it's definitely a keeper.

Any one know if the stocks are the same for the 16.5" models vs the 18". Im thinking Id like to try and trade my 16" model for an 18" but want to keep my walnut. ??

Thanks
 
Has anybody had any issue with the extractor or ejector on these guns? I just got a new one and i find sometimes it will throw the brass across the room and at other times i have to pick it out and remove it myself. Any ideas?

Mine does the same. I wish it was consistent but as said work the bolt like you mean it and it should not drop the casing back into the action
 
Agreed... I try to save all my brass and I just looked kind of stupid looking at the ground around me after I took my white tail and I had reloaded too vigorously and launched my brass into the next WMU.

Mine launches brass a country mile...... kind of a pain sometimes since I reload....

I would clean and lubricate your ejector.......
