Ruger Scout Rifle 6830 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

AWESOME RIFLE

I needed a .308 rifle for my collection and had heard about the Gunsite Scout. Glad I bought it! I put a Vortex 3-9x40, sling and bipod on it. I had to send one of the rings back to Ruger because it was too low and the scope hit the front rail. Ruger exch

Good Choice

This is a good rifle. In 308 it is a pleasure to shoot all day. Plenty of knock down power for any North America Animal. Accurate and reliable.

Update

Since my last review I've contacted Ruger about plug screws, in the event someone, like me, wants to remove the weaver base for scope clearance when mounting the scope back closer to the shooter. Ruger sent me the screws at no charge. Very quickly I might

Great firearm

Put a scope on my Gunsight Scout and had it bore sighted at Cabelas today. Went over to Barracks 616 shooting range to sight it in, and all shots grouped very well. Right now it's 1" high at 25 yards, good enough until the weather warms up so I can z

Scout fan

The mags need a little work. I have to give this gun many stars it replaced my Remington vtr. I'm very impressed small,light,and accurate at long range. Good job Ruger

Great Rifle In Any Configuration!

I have had this rifle for over a year now and marvel at its versatility. Iron sites at 50 yards it is dead accurate. Scout Scope even tighter. With a 4X12 and rail kit, it is unbelievable at 200 yards. Be sure to use good ammo, 308 WIN ONLY and don't go w

Great Gun

I purchased this gun because I wanted a shorter rifle that would work well in a blind. I was also looking for something with length of pull below 13" because I'm on the short side. After much searching I found the Gunsite Scout. I shot it with and wi

Problems

Bought this gun and took it to the range. I used factory Winchester 308 rounds. The rounds would chamber but after firing the bolt was extreamely stiff to open. I shot 5 rounds and all extracted the same. I took the rifle back to Cabela's for them to send

Go to gun!

I bought this rifle because i had heard a lot of great things about it and had watched some testing videos, so i decided to give it a try. Quite possibly the most versatile rifle i have ever owned. I have hunted everything from deer to elk to cougar to be

The do it all rifle...

I bought this gun originally for a Minnesota woods gun but now.. I have put a Minox 3x15x42mm scope onto the XS Sight System full length rail with see through rings. A bi-pod, sling, poly mag, and a M60 muzzle break. I am now ready for my Wyoming trip at

Excellent firearm.

The rifle is great. Only thing that was a bit of a drag is that the metal 10 round box magazine that comes with the rifle is very grimey inside and has to be taken apart and cleaned before use. This magazine is hard to take apart. I purchased the plastic

one smart gun

I purchased this rifle to use for general use take camping for protection, some hunting, and just good old target.... I like the weight and short barrel. Carries well when slung and cycles very nice. I paired it with a vortex red/green dot scope. It works

Awesome gun

This gun shoots great right out of the box. I did have to add the extra stock pieces to adult size. I did have a issue with the bolt and had to send it back because the brass were all getting damaged. I was told that I was cycling the bolt to fast and if

Fear the man with one gun..

.. for he probably knows how to use it. I believe this to be true although I am not sure that it is about this model. My only complaint is that the barrel is to short and you lose 30 fps velocity with every inch of barrel below a 20 inch. I still gave 5 s

Nice do-all rifle

I bought this rifle earlier this year and have not regreted this rifle whatsoever. The overall fit and finish of this weapon are top notch. Me and a couple friends were shooting tactical.308s and this seemed (at least to me) to be nicer than ones AR-10 an

Good rifle

shoots really well at 100 yards dime size groups 200 yards inch groups really pleased with it few problems when i first got it action felt gritty an jammed the bolt after working it it went away stock is alittle to short after putting a scope an bipod on

Ruger Gunsite LH Rifle

Quality Mauser action rifle, accurate, comfortable, light weight, nice. Would & have recommended to friends...

I love this little rifle.

I'm 70, and have owned lots of rifles, some of them Rugers, lots of firearms. I think this one is the best of the lot and highly recommend the Ruger Gunsite .308 to anyone who doesn't want to keep a bunch of rifles around. This one does it all!

Quality do all rifle

I got this rifle right after Christmas as a gift to myself. I am very happy of my purchase. After a normal new buy cleaning, it feels like it can handle the test of time. It is well built, light, and ready for hunting after I get some 5 round poly mags. I

Awesome, but dirty, filthy mags from the factory.

Upfront, it's a Five Star rifle that I gave four stars because Ruger should have known better. When I recieved it I cleaned it as usual, but I didnt think about cleaning the inside of the Mag. After firing a few rounds, the action gummed up and it was ver

Ruger Scout Rifle

Superb handling and workmanship, to be expected of a truly American company! It uses the M77 bolt action which has been proven to be one of the best! And they wisely calibered the rifle in .308 to be effective in any non-feather game setting on the contin

This is a really great version of this rifle. The polymer stock makes it about a pound lighter than the laminate wood stock. And the muzzle brake used on this model, instead of the flash Hider on all other models, actually does help tame the recoil, even

Perfect, just as I expected.

Great service from Buds.....This is one tough weapon,,,Control Round Feed (action is not the smoothest but good), accurate out to good distances when you consider such a short barrel. Great for it's purpose.
