Range time with 16" scout

[Jamie]

Very little recoil. I used to run a LTR police and recoil was much more

 

[saskcop]

Nice shooting.

 

[madashell]

Ah. No. 100 meters

Yeah but ..... isn't it supposed to be in the center of that round black thing ?? ... lol

Great shooting.

Didn't know they made a 16 " version. Have to look into this.

Hey Jamie, what are the specs on the rifle ?

 

[Jamie]

The specs are 16.1"ruger scout in 308 Harris bipod vortex 2.5/10 mil scope Warne rings with 155gr Hornady steel match ammo

 

[Jamie]

200 meters pouring raing off bench and bipod.

Trigger needs work

 

[Found]

Nice, you sure have a good shooter there.

 

[tribal]

Great groups and a fantastic little gun

 

[BigUglyMan]

Can't argue with results like that. I'm no fan of brakes, but I bet it makes it quite polite.

I ordered one in stainless, figure it'll be a perfect little camp and boat gun. I was planning a lightweight, compact build with irons and a detachable mag when I realised Ruger is already offering that.

I will guess you will want a better trigger.

 

[Jamie]

So from my 100 meter zero I had to dial .7 mil

That puts my fps around 2540 with my areas info. 1100 ft above and weather added.

Factory Hornday 155steel match

Quoting Meatloaf: You took the words right outta my mouth! ha ha ha ha

What's not to like in this carry package?

Cheers,

PS: Jamie, thanks for hooking me on the short carry package, iron sighted, mag fed .308 addiction!

 

[Jamie]

Your welcome lol.


I will start loading for it. I would some IMR4895 might get the speed up a tad

 

[Boomer]

Used at Epps.

I hope whoever traded it in at Epps is a CGN member and sees the potential of what he had owned. Like BUM, I'm not a a fan of brakes, but if the rifle shoots like that on demand, I'm sure a thread protector could be found.

Hard to knock original .30/06 performance in a package that small.

 

[Jamie]

Came with the thread protector lol.

I mostly hunt from ground blinds so I wear my peltors

Awww, you traitor. Back in the day you were such a Rem 700 LTR loyalist. Looks like the Ruger is a good shooter though!

Still am lol I was looking for a AAC SD in 308 or 300 Blk But they did not have one. I still have Two 700's. My LTR got shot out and rebarreled to 260

 

[Glock4ever]

I miss the LTR thread. Damn technology keeps marching on. I remember when the LTR was the bee's knees and guys were getting t-shirts made up. Now it is a quaint old shooter... sigh. That was back when Rugers were still considered hit or miss poo. Guess we are just getting old.

 

[rifleman338]

I can feel my wallet getting lighter already. Might make for a good winter project.
