Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle | .450 Bushmaster | 16.1in | 6837

The Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle in .450 Bushmaster pairs a compact 16.10″ cold hammer-forged barrel with an American walnut stock and integral optics mounting for a compact, field-capable bolt-action platform developed with Gunsite Academy. It ships with integral scope mounts and included scope rings, a forward-mounted Picatinny rail for intermediate-eye-relief optics, and a Ruger Precision Rifle® Hybrid Muzzle Brake to manage recoil. This configuration favors fast target acquisition from off-hand positions and practical use in close to moderate-range hunting scenarios.

Recommended optic: a low-power variable scout-style scope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 provides the intermediate eye relief and rugged reliability that complements the forward-mounted rail while remaining well under $1,000.
