Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle | .308 Win | Black Laminate

The Ruger Gunsite Scout is a bolt-action rifle built around practical, short- to medium-range use. It ships with a forward-mounted Picatinny rail and an accurate sighting system that combines a protected blade front sight with an adjustable ghost-ring rear aperture. The laminate stock is designed to remain stable in changing weather and carries the Gunsite name rollmarked on the receiver.

Suggested optic: a Vortex Crossfire II 2-10×44 or a similar intermediate-eye-relief scope (priced under $1,000) pairs well with the forward-mounted rail for fast, two-eye target acquisition at typical scout-rifle ranges.
