It's interesting, kind of strange looking like a combination of different guns.

NICE new Ruger

There's a rare phrase you don't hear much.

 

[tele_mark]

Wonder if it shoots better than a Mini-14?

Why would you want a bolt gun in a cartridge that sucks beyond 150 yards, when it comes in .308 which is good beyond 600 yards?

You're just a meany.

I like.

There is a lot of good I can see being done with an easily concealed scoped bolt gun.

I thought the whole idea of the forward mounted scope was to facilitate clip loading and handling. What is the purpose of a forward mounted scope with a box magazine? I have a M98 scout rifle and it is comfortable to carry, but if it had a detachable box magazine, I think I would want it conventionally mounted.

I'd love to check one out in person and give it a go.

I said the same thing about these:

I never heard it before

 

[SKS Ray]

Minus the detachable magazine it looks a lot like a Spanish FR8 design. Only difference is the FR8 costs about 1/3 of that Ruger and probably shoots better than it too.

Very big yawn.

A rifle designed by gunwriters.

Cheapness of ammo for one and also this gun wouldn't be used passed 300yrds. a scout rifle would actually be a great weapon for new england

also come on its fine passed 150yds, dont bring that AK malarchy into this

That's a reasonable argument.

Not malarkey, although perhaps a bit of an exaggeration. With a 100 yard zero, at 200 yards .308 has 3.6" drop. With a 100 yard zero, at 200 yards 7.62x39 has a 6.5" drop, and it gets worse as distance increases.
