Ruger Scout Rifle

Forward-mounted Picatinny rail allows for the mounting of modern optics, like an intermediate eye relief scope (not included), for "both eyes open" sighting and rapid target acquisition. Built-in, accurate sighting system with adjustable ghost ring rear aperture sight and a non-glare, protected blade front sight. Detachable box magazine with push-forward magazine release just forward of the trigger guard. Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for included scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field. Soft-rubber buttpad with buttpad spacers allows the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters or varying levels of outerwear (three, 1/2" spacers included). Free-floating, cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity. Rugged and reliable glass-reinforced nylon trigger guard and magazine well. Non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is among the most positive case extraction systems ever invented, and features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. Lightweight synthetic stock models feature a forward aluminum bedding block and rear aluminum pillar that positively locate the receiver. Also includes: rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt; three-position safety; sling swivel studs.
