Just acquired a Scout. What a sweet little rifle! Would love to see pictures of others' Scouts, and how they are tricked out. Word on the street is they are very accurate. Is there a takedown style case on the market for the Scout?
 
do a search of clayne_b and see how accurate that thing is out to 500 yards. Mine is the most accurate "non match grade" 22 I own. 0.250 groups at 50 yards off a harris bipod no less. great little rifle. sold 3 other cz's as they we not as accurate as the scout.

I have come to the conclusion short barrels are accurate as heck. I have not compared short and longer barrels in the same model of firearm, but all my short-barrelled guns (.22LR, .223 Rem.,7.62x39, .308 Win., 338 Win. Mag.) are very accurate.

What ammo were you using?
 
Congrats and welcome to the scout club, I love mine and is plain Jane like the day I bought it. All work great with CCI, AE is ok, the 17 also likes the hornady vmax
Here it is with its 452 varmint big sisters in 22lr, 22wmr, & 17hmr

My 452 Scout is my favorite .22, and I'll croak before it leaves my hands for sure.
I shoot this little rifle more than any in my collection. This one I free floated and
tuned the trigger to 1.5 lbs., and it shoots as good as the ones stated above.
These rifles are sweet!;)

Do you ever shoot your Scout from the prone position? Doesn't the Scout come from the factory with a floated barrel?

I sometimes shoot prone with it when stalking game, but mostly shoot from the bench or off-hand.
The rifle wasn't free floated from the factory. I could not get a thin piece of paper between the
stock and barrel, so I opened it up a smidge. ;)
 
Shell Shucker,

Curious to know if the short length of pull on the Scout makes the rifle uncomfortable to shoot from prone. In your experience.
 
I find the short length of pull no bother at all. Some folks might have to try different
scopes or red dot sights to get a good feel, or even put on a recoil pad to compensate
for their body type. I'm 6 ft. tall and of average build, but I like shooting compact
rifles. They just work for me.;)

Floating isnt the end all be all. My 452 hmr isnt anyplace near floated and shoots very very good. My 455 22wmr had to be floated to get it to shoot. Buy, then try, then sand if needed.
 
not a picture of the rifle, only the results. found this in my picture archive. typical group of the scout, when testing for accuracy. scout was tuned with a yodave trigger kit and bedded with leather. I use a thin piece of leather for a washer on the action screw and there is leather everywhere the action meets the stock. very thin leather. deadens vibrations.

That's impressive. How did the rifle shoot before you added the leather? Did you mod the barrel channel?
