The Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle in .308 Winchester with a 16.1-inch barrel (brand part no. 6803) is a compact, fast-handling bolt action developed with Gunsite around the scout-rifle concept, and carries the Gunsite Approved logo on the grip cap. Ruger finishes the medium-contour, cold-hammer-forged barrel in matte black and threads the muzzle for a removable flash suppressor, while a forward-mounted Picatinny rail supports an intermediate-eye-relief scope for both-eyes-open, fast target acquisition. The rifle also includes a ghost-ring adjustable rear aperture sight and a protected front post for iron-sight use, and integral scope mounts machined directly into the solid steel receiver eliminate a common source of mounting looseness. A 10-round detachable box magazine feeds the non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled-round-feed action with its fixed-blade ejector, and a three-position safety rounds out the field-ready control layout. Among compact, do-everything bolt action rifles, this Gunsite Scout configuration favors shooters who want a fast-handling, iron-sighted rifle that also accepts a forward-mounted scope.
