I searched and was derailed by over an hour of interesting reading on other topics. I'd like to get some educated opinions about the Ruger Scout rifle or scout rifles in general ( like savage. Steyr seems overpriced to me)..
I was considering it as a handy gun for pig hunts. I'm new to it but I've gone several times in the past 6 months, and the manzanita brush is hell on the finish of my sako 270. Also, I like the iron sights. the longest shot I've had would have been in the 250 yd range and I thought the scope on the sako was unneeded.
Are scout rifles trying to be too many things and failing at all of them, or are they useful tools?
Ruger has pics on their sight, but I didn't want to post a link here.
