beretta t3 or ruger scout? comparison?

T3 has more plastic, but numerous different cals. Scout comes in .308, and is all steel. They really have no similarities. What are you using it for?

the ruger scout is not all steel, the trigger guard and magwell are plastic. if your looking for a scout rifle that is all steel, besides the stock look into the savage 10 scout. i have one and it comes with me everywere.
 
Just a light bush gun and somthing that can shoot a lot with out heating up the barrel too much. And. Of course accuracy and I def would have them both in 308.

well my savage scout weighs around 8 lbs with a weaver k4 scout scope and solid steel rings. if you take the scope and rings off and just run the irons it weighs 6.65 lbs. not sure what the ruger scout is i think it weighs around 7lbs without a scope or optics? i personally chose the savage scout over the ruger because i read on different fourms the rugers have sticky bolts and have accuracy problems? not sure if that is true or not but i was not taking the chance. my scout gets around an inch a 100 yards with a fixed 4x28 power scope. the soft recoil pad also helps with the recoil. i payed around 700 just for the gun and it was 1000 bucks for the scope and rings, gun, and bipod, but the savage scout will be harder to find chambered in 308. here is my gun! love that thing to death!

I assume that you are referring to the Tikka T-3. The T-3 has a much better trigger, and the T-3s that I own, and the ones that I have fired,tended to offer an accuracy advantage over my Ruger 77s, and the other 77s that I have fired.
 
I like the T3 more you pick up the scout and its 10 round mag and it rattles around and you hear it the T3 not so much

Yeah I meant the tikka but isn't beretta and tikka the same company? Yeah that's good stuff haha49 those little things like a rattly mag help in making my dicision. I would like a nice tight gun with no issues, perfect accuracy, light weight, and can fire a tonne of bullets without heating up maybe that's what we all want? Lol thanks for your input guys I think I'm just gonna have to put them both in my hands.
 
Well, since you mention barrel heat I took my Ruger GSR to the range a few weekends ago and shot 99 cartridges over the course of about an hour and a half. The barrel was almost too hot to touch. So, depends on what you view as a lot of shooting.
I'm not a good enough shot to say anything about accuracy, and it was my first time shooting a rifle in years. Supposedly people have been getting somewhere around 1 moa, which is certainly good enough for the concept, hickok or whatever his name is has a good review of it and he actually shoots it.
What is perfect accuracy? Putting bullets in the same hole at a hundred meters?
From what I've seen lightweight and good accuracy do not mix for off the shelf rifles. A tight, accurate(sub moa ) rifle is probably not going to be light and likely not the kind you would want to use in the field.

If you're near the edmonton area I'm willing to let you try my Ruger GSR, but tight it is not. Tolerances seem pretty generous, which is good for the concept since it's intended as a rifle you can bring with you in the rain and dust and mud. I have noticed feeding malfunctions when inserting a mag on an open bolt, the rim of the cartridge gets caught on a little ledge below the bolt face so it's not high enough to get pushed out of the mag. Cycling the bolt, or inserting on a closed mag corrects the issue. Might be me as none of the other owners have had the problem.

There are actually several light weight sporters available that will shoot moa or better.
 
I'd say tikka or maybe a Remington model 7, how about getting into a lever gun? Anything is going to heat up if you shoot it a lot. Buy your scout type rifle and grab a .22lr for shooting while the other one cools off.
