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.

I think you need another thread.
This one is for precision rifles.
