New ruger scout rifle

I personally love the look of the 10 round mag.
I am also an Enfield fan, Jungle carbine handy and a 10 round mag.
I seam to see ALLOT of people paying big bucks to covert their bolt guns over to legal 10 round mag systems.
I LIKE it!
Have you had it to the range yet? Target pictures?

I must admit that I too like the look with the 10 round mag, but for hunting I don't want it getting in the way hence the purchase of the 5 rounders..

The 10 round mag is for the men of the forum. Little ladies can stick to the 5 rounder.

LMAO....I can do it with less than 5..I never carry more than 9 rnds(2 mags and 1 for the pipe) when hunting...Mostly only carry 5 rounds..Less weight is what its all about...
 
My Polymers loaded with 10 keep the rifle a very easy & comfortable weight for me - with a Leupold VX-R & packed up Triad Tactical stock pouch on it as well...

(but then I work out) ;)


It's whatever works for each person. Remember is your PERSONAL tool, not someone else's, if they want a .22 lr survival rifle, good on em, for me, I like my build (until I start the next project).

Haha I used more than 9 rounds in a day once hunting. I also knew this guy who took 5 rounds with him and ran out after the first deer. I think he said he had to take 4 shots with a 300win mag at long range to take the deer down and one to put it down.
 
Here is more eye candy just for you guys...

I hope you had at least 9 deer bagged! ;-)
 
The reason you go through so many rounds here on Vancouver Island is because you're typically shooting at deer in dense brush while they're moving, not sitting in a blind with a scoped rifle. I can't count the number of times I have been walking up some logging road, saw a deer butt before it half trotted into the side of the road. You look into the bush and there's just absolutely nothing, so you sit and listen, and then you hear something and try to actually see the thing. Once you catch a glimpse, it's 30 yards away and you can barely see it but you get a headshot opportunity and miss. This is how it usually happens, there are no perfect shots and there is always stuff in the way. Scopes are practically useless considering how they'd be out of alignment within the first hour and they would be too slow to acquire your target unless set from 1-3x, you might as well use irons.

It's somewhat similar here in northern Ontario, lots of bush but there are clearings but the bucks hide while the does come out in those clearings..if your lucky. You have to wait and call them. Lots of patience. 1 round, 1 animal. Scopes or peeps, the shots here are rarely past 150 yards.
