Closest thing I have to a scout rifle, 16" 308 with a 2.5-10 vortex on top. HS Precision bottom metal and mags are in the works.

I've found this has way too much scope on it for what I intended, but the Tikka CTR is pretty nice (this one's in .260)DSC03291.jpg
Ruger Gunsite Scout with a Galco Safari Ching sling and a Leupold 1.5-5X33 scout scope. It's been my primary hunting rifle for the past two years.
Here's my new Steyr Scout rifle in .308. Mine has the 1/2-20 threaded barrel. I purchased an adapter from Tac Driver's at Gunsite and my Omega suppressor mounts perfectly. Still searching for the right scope.

Custom FR-8 Spanish Mauser scout. The irons co-witness through the Aimpoint. This is an older pic... the muzzle device has been replaced by a 3-prong Silencerco flash hider mount, so I can use my Omega on it.

Finally, got a scope mounted on my .308 Steyr Scout. It's a Leupold 3-9x42mm VX-R Patrol. My Steyr is more of a general purpose rifle rather than a true Scout. The suppressor makes it barrel heavy but the Patrol offsets that nicely. The first 3 shots of Winchester 168gr Slivertips were just above the bullseye. With the Omega it shot a little low. I'm very happy with it.

Love that. I need to find one of those threaded scouts.
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
