Ruger Scout Rifle M77-GS | .308 Win | 6822

The Ruger M77-GS Gunsite Scout is a bolt-action sporting rifle developed with Gunsite and built around a forward-mounted Picatinny rail, an integral scope mounting system and a Mauser-style controlled round feed extractor. This configuration combines rapid target acquisition with a stable, machined receiver and removable flash suppressor on the threaded muzzle. Standard features include an adjustable ghost-ring rear sight, protected blade front sight, a detachable box magazine and a black laminate stock with buttpad spacers.

For an optic to match the scout role and the rifle’s forward rail, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 1-6×24, which provides a fast acquisition window at low magnification and precision at higher magnification while remaining below $1,000. Two practical applications for this rifle are scout-style field hunting and precision-oriented practical shooting where a forward-mounted optic and fast target transitions are advantageous.
