Savage 110 Scout, one year later
- Thread starter Coxswain

Didn't think of that, but it makes sense. It might also help with the issue some people were having with the 110 Scout not having enough elevation travel with the rear sight at close ranges.
Might be personal taste but I don't mind how my OG 110 Scout looks, although I'm still keeping an eye out for a take-off non-bedded Accustock that fits the heavy barrel to see what the weight savings are like (hopefully in a more neutral color like grey). I've got a Magpul stock on my shotgun and I like how I can comfortably sling it up to my front or hanging to the side with the side mounts, and the additional slots would be nice for mounting a light if you need it for predator control.
One thing I'm not sure of is if it comes with the comb risers (spec page only says LoP spacers), which I found to be a huge asset to the Accufit stock. If it was lighter I might be tempted to pick up the stock to try out, but paying $450 to make my rifle even heavier makes that a pass for me.
Savage announced a v2 version of the 110 Scout. The major change is the new stock, which has adjustable LoP and comb height without tools, and M-Lok accessory slots up front. It now has a full length rail from the factory so you don't need to change it out if you want to use a regular eye-relief scope, and they made the iron sights a bit taller. The magazine release is now more streamlined, fitting flush with the trigger guard.
Nice additions, but it's heavier still than the v1. I'm not sure why they still insist on that heavy profile barrel and the muzzle brake, those would be some easy ways to cut down on weight without much downside.

Thanks for posting, I hadn't seen this before. I foolishly sold my .223 Steyr Scout awhile back, and this one is interesting. A bit too heavy, but the full-length rail, the vastly-improved mag release and especially the fact that it uses AICS mags instead of AR-type (personal preference) really make this appealing. I like the stock profile as well.
I'm curious to see how real-world prices will compare between this and the Ruger American Scout.
