.308 bolt action

[beaubonyx]

Ok I would some feed back on two bolt action .308. The Remington 700 stock and then get some work done at the shop. The other one is new Ruger gunsigh scout rifle. I know what the rem 700 can be with some work. But I like the idea that I can use iron sights on the ruger. What is your thoughts on the 16" barrel? I am looking to make a bench rifle and also use it to maybe do some hunting.

CZ makes the 550, and some Savages are equipped with iron sights in the Scout configurations. Savage makes some bench rest rifles for long-range shooting, and their team captain states that hand loading is the only modification they used The rifles, as stock, are capable of four or five inches at 1000 yards (at least according to the propaganda video, but seeing the new Savage's actions are great). Something to think about.

The 550 prints nicely, but I am unsure what it is capable of, and I don't think it has iron sights.
Hope that helps, Beau.

I don't see any competition shooters with the Ruger. They are two different rifles for two different purposes. Sounds like you want the 700.

Another reason to drain my bank account.

just bought a ruger gunsite scout last week. 769$ from impact guns.... i love it. esp being a bit stout in stature, it has a short stock with stackable inserts to fine-tune. i haven't shot it more than 50 or so yards but stacks bullets right out the box. lol, stacked them by itself, i didn't even have to pick it up!!! but really, when i shot it, it was such a pleasure. many ways to set it up. it has the traditional ruger mounts over the bolt for a scope. picatinny forward rail for a scout scope or just awesome peep iron sights. beautiful well made gun! if any of you are around ever around ville platte i would be happy to let you squeeze off a few rounds.

If you want a scout rifle, the Ruger is the only way to go. I have had mine for a few months now and just love it. Waiting on the 10 round Alpha mags which are much shorter. BUT, it is what it is, a short light handy little rifle capable of delivering a decisive blow on targets up to 200 kilos at any range the operator is capable of making hits to the vitals. IT IS NOT a target rifle. If you want to shoot tiny little groups at long range, go with the 700.

Rem 700 Sps tatical or Ruger

I have the Rem 700 SPS tatical with the threaded bbl and gillie green stock but wish I would have gotten the Ruger, the rem is a hole puncher but its a little heavy to hunt with, am looking for the best of both worlds, would be willing to trade.
