Yep, I probably do lots of things I'm not supposed to do, or that others don't do; it's made life pretty interesting, though. :-) My best friend and college roommate, Bob Frost, wrote a poem about that. Don't know if he ever got it published, but I remember him stealing my beer and struggling with some lines about "two roads diverging in the wood," or something like that.
Your college roommate Bob Frost, the one born in 1874? I think you're spinning a tall tale, Mr 45. Oh well, never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
I have a Ruger Gunsite Scout special edition in 6.5 Creedmore. It's a fun gun to shoot.
I’ve had mine for nearly 6 years. One of my favorite guns. It’s just so beautiful.
I've heard these tend to shoot around 1 moa or less at 100 yards- nice!
I bought the ruger gunsite rifle last month. Have a scout scope on it. And it was right on at 50 yds right out of the box. At 100 yds it was about 3/4 - 1 inch low. This rifle is really accurate.
After firing a few mags through one of these, I can say it will be one of my first rifles :D. I like light weight high caliber rifles!
Aussie50 Look at the Model 11 scout from Savage. 18" barrel accustock and accutrigger.
BlueonGoldZ Decent compensator or suppressor would help with recoil.
BlueonGoldZ Yeah it is an older concept and I have no idea why its so popular. I'd rather take any model Mosin-Nagant and just put a scout scope on it, in such a fashion where it won't get rid of anything original. The only thing good out of the scout concept is light weight rifle with a powerful cartridge. But I hate the idea of long eye relief scopes.
Ratkill9000 I agree and you read my mind though since I'm a Brit, I would like to buy an old Enfield (in good condition, obviously) and use that instead. It would be interesting to get someone who can do the mad minute with an Enfield and have them try it on the Ruger Scout. I've tried the bolt on the Scout and it is so difficult to use.
Part 3 please. It's been long enough c'mon.
I had .308 for years traded it and have regretted it. Going to get another one, lol. Yes another video! Version 3!
I've seen a million of your videos, but out of all those guns you've shown this one sticks out to me. Such a beautiful handy rifle!
This one and the suppressed Rossi lever-action SBR
Get one you won’t be sorry.
@skibum1610, You must be new; you have about 550 videos to catch up on for homework! :-)
Coming from California, I live vicariously through your videos. Thank you Hickok for your videos throughout the years. I love the pure happiness you convey immediately after hearing a 'KLING' right after hitting a steel target. Cheers!
Two years late with this but, this gun is CA legal tho?
Gregory Steffensen, This gun is legal in CA. I bought one 2 years ago, and thus far there’s been no gun legislation affecting bolt actions...but with the incrementalist gun bans, that will be coming as Leftists continue their march to eliminating your freedoms, and as good people continue to do very little about it.
If you don't own this rifle. BUY IT. I really am very happy with mine and I would recommend this to anyone. Recoil is actually pretty tame.
Next video with that rifle should be "Epic long range woods walk". Great video as always.
@onebigkahuna69, I've observed that it can cause me to mess up on windage just a little bit at time, depending on the range and the sights on the gun. It's the sun on the sights and barrel, I guess. I have not totally figured it out, obviously. :-)
Hickock,
Wouldn't that Ruger Scout be perfect for someone who lived in Alaska off the grid? I think Cooper saw the value in it as a survival rifle. I would like to see more videos of you shooting smaller items at long distance with the Scout.
There's a video on TH-cam of a guy hunting a moose with a Ruger Scout .308. Check it out, open sights and two shots.
Was hoping to see a red dot on your chapter two.
@killabee7060 , See most recent FAQ video, and perhaps a few hundred others we've done when you get time. :-)
@UseAbuseReuse, I'd probably go with the Glock because I have decades of reliability experience with it.
Like the Ruger Scout more than the Savage Scout. And way more than fhe Mossberg Scout. Accuracy & quality wise.
@car007uk, It all depends on which solar system a person lives in, right? :-)
u r still one of the best shots i have ever seen Hickok, keep up the good work
Thanks hickok for this video. First saw it back in 2012 after seeing this rifle in my local gun store. Finally got one in late 2012 and have loved it. I have many other rifles but I consider this one to be just for me. I did have to get the left handed model and I did put a Nikon forward mounted scope. It is a dream to shoot. Will always be in my collection and will never get rid of it. Thanks again for the video. You should do a range 3.
The sun will always be in the west in the afternoon and in the east in the morning.
Hickok, thanks for everything you do. You've made several of my purchases easier, and I appreciate you taking the time to spread your knowledge with the younger generations. Thanks to your video, I recently ordered the new Ruger Gunsite with an 18" barrel. Thanks again.
"That .308 goes right through the 2 liter" haha, Hickok you're the best. I'm glad you approve of the gun too, cause I just picked one up today:)
Yes sir Mr Hickock... Life is really good when you have a personal range ;-)
Best Scout rifle made to date is that made by Black Ops Precision, of Columbia Falls Montana. These guys build guns for.....well some teams of people who wreck shit for a living.
I have one with the leupold scout scope and love it.....smoked multiple muley's with it.
I love how at the start of the video a block is missed and you think "man, he couldn't hit a barn door"...then suddenly, you realise he's over 100 yards away using iron sites on a borrowed rifle....lol We salute you sir!
@BonesTheCat, You are right about that! It's been a surprise, even from the beginning when people seemed to like those first few pocket-camera-on-a-tripod Glock videos more than I thought made any sense. :-)
Hey mate, I know it's an old vid, but is yours the 16 or 18in barrel cheers
@@mattyvb1 it’s the 18 inch mate .
@@FourHorsemen-k2y yeah true shit,. I've just ordered the 16.5. I assumed it was 16.5 cause it's blued. We only have two listings in Oz 18inch in ss and 16.5 in blued. I wanted 18inch but I don't like the SS.
Please do a woods walk
Damn Hickok you're really making me want to spend money I probably shouldn't be. I can get one of these for 900 bucks, it's such a pretty looking rifle and very unique and practical to boot. Really cool rifle and great vid as always.
Fired my Scout for the first time today. No optics yet (I don't shoot like hickok45) but was hitting 3 inch groups at 150ds with the iron sights. Nice rifle!
I just got one...yes!
Yup, Hickok! Can't beat a MauseRuger for a bolt action rifle. Can't justify this Scout for now, but, see it in my future.
@huguenot67 It would be nice, but the common bolt (rem 700, mouser, etc.) actions won't work with the alternating feed mags such as the M-1a/M-14, FAL, etc. they require a two-to-one, or a single stack. This is particularly true of a controlled round feed action such as the mouser type that this rifle uses. That is why all the mag fed bolt guns I am aware of use proprietary mags. At least Ruger used A.I. pattern mags, so we have more then one source.
I am looking at getting a bolt action rifle. I have shot a Remington 700. In fact I owned one and traded it for a Desert Eagle .44mag. I just wanted to see what you thought was on the trigger pull and working the bolt on the scout rifle vs. a 700
I understand and have noticed what you are saying about the sunlight coming in from your shooting side. I have a friend that is left handed, and he has trouble whenever the light is coming in from the left.
thanks for the reviews hickok. My father just recently passed and was a huge Ruger fan. He had 4 assorted Ruger. 357s and a .454 Casull. but no Ruger rifles... i ended up pickin this guy up as a little memorial and love it. thanks again for helping me find something to remember my father.
The bolt on my Scout seems to be a bit stiff. Did you find the same on yours? Is it a matter of breaking it in, or should I be contacting Ruger?
@killabee7060 Long story short: He has been for years. Why do so many people ask that? How do you think he affords the ammo? xD
I bought one of Ruger GS rifles in Green and Gray stock. I dumped the Bird Cage and replaced it with a Yankee Hill muzzle brake. Mounted a Nikon Monarch 2-8X32 in the standard scope location. Took about 50 rounds of FMJ ammo to break in the barrel where the groups pulled together. Sub-MOA gun with my loads, SMK 150g over Varget max load from the Sierra Load Book. Love this Rifle!
Polymer mags are absolutely the best magazines money can buy. And most of the time they're the same price (at least they are for my AR). Amazing product!!
Getting this rifle in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!
@hickok45 oh im sorry if im doing it the wrong way but i dont have english as a primary language. im swedish.
i love this gun. i own one myself and absolutely love it. if i could, i would shoot it everytime i go to the range, but the ammo prices are far to much.
Greetings from Central europe
I love the videos from you i spent my sunday siting relaxing and watching HICKOK45 videos
Excelent
It's my understanding that the primary purpose of the dust covers on polymer magazines is to prevent the mouth from splaying open, over the course of time, from the pressure of the cartridges when the mag's are loaded up.
You handle that scout rifle well, Col. Cooper would be very pleased.
watches first 5 seconds: looks like hickok45 is finally doing that daisy bb gun reveiw
I love mine I have the xs scout rail with a red dot, 5 round accurate mag, OD green cloth m1 carbine sling
If you had to choose between a Ruger Gunsite with a 16.1" barrel and a CVA Cascade with an 18" barrel, which one would you buy, Hickok45?
Hickok, have you heard of or shot the Mossberg MVP 5.56mm? It's a bolt action that FINALLY has a reliable bolt mechanism that will reliably feed from AR-15 magazines..... Truly a varmint hunter's DREAM!!! Really would like this rifle a whole lot more if it was a 18"-20" barrel and a longer forend(!!), maybe soon they'll give us some OPTIONS, as I know a lot of people who like these but don't want a 16" bolt gun, maybe pass that on to Ruger (???) as I would buy one if it was!
@streakfighter If I'm going to spend my money on new ammunition, it's Brown/Silver Bear ammo all the way. Privi ammunition works well and gives you boxer primed brass to reload, and out of all the surplus, the Yugo heavy-ball is pretty accurate surplus. If you're mosin is in good shape (shiny bore with sharp lands and grooves with a decent crown) you should be getting 3-5 inch groups with your gun using Russian surplus at 100 yards on a bad day. Reloads are required for max accuracy though
Really a neat video to watch. I was out last night late feeding a horse that is old enough to gum food and who will watch for rabbits that eat horses instead of eating. You stand leaning on the gate listening to crunch sounds. Looking up in a clear zone Venus and Jupiter are close together in the sky TO THE WEST. Just felt like I should point that out when the Sun is hiding planets! ;^) It might be a planetary event impacting TN shooters.
Yeah, drink the soda then fill the bottle with colored water and shoot it if you want the color effects. Also the sun sets in the direct west 2 times a year @ Equinox. Other times it can set more in the Northwest or Southeast. It can rise in the Northeast and set in the northwest, giving us the long days of summer. Then later in winter it rises in the southeast and sets in the soughwest giving us the short days of winter. It can take a year but chart the sun's rising and setting each day.
@BigJT2010 I was doing a few things all at once, hence the calculation error. I think that Ruger doesn't copy the M1A for supply/demand reasons. 1500USD is a lot of money. Hunters and target shooters can get a very decent bolt-action rifle with scope under 1000USD, tactical mall ninja armchair commandos can get AR-15s under 1000USD. Any company willing to make profits should comply with market's demand.
I think the Scout Rifle is an interesting concept however I feel it's shorter size leaves a little to be desired. I'd propose a new concept rifle, the Trail Rifle (or some other word for the lack of a better one) must have front and rear adjustable (without use of tools) sights, feed from a 10rnd detachable magazine (preferably FAL or M14 pattern), 20 inch barrel, must not exceed 42 inches in overall length with muzzle device or but extensions and not exceed 10lbs loaded.
I'm definitely in the market for one of these rifles. LOVE the design. People knock it because it's a high-cap bolt gun, but guess what, friends? Give me this rifle, a nice Leopold long eye relief scope and one magazine .. you take your tacticool AR-15 and let's randomly walk 1500 paces in opposite directions. Whoever gets who first wins. I guarantee I am the one leaving the woods in one piece! =)
@BigJT2010 The M14 was designed around the M1 Garand rifle designed by (attention attention) John Garand around 1932. Since that time any patents and copyrights have expired. Likewise the M14 was produced in 4 different facilities for the US military, so the US military is likely the current owner of any patents and copyrights. On the other hand the M14 was designed in 1954, so the design's 54 years old now, and any patents have expired. M1A is a registered trademark of Springfield Armory
I was looking at the stats of the gunsite scout rifle and I noticed that the steel material used was described as alloy. I know that all steel is an alloy, so I was wondering what kind of steel that was used in making this rifle. So could you please shed some light on this issue if you in fact know the answer. Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I don't know if you got your answer or not, but the .308 winchester is the civilian load equivalent for the NATO 7.62 x 51mm. The 7.62 x39mm is the shorter russian round used in AK 47's and their variants. Both rounds have projectiles measured at 7.62, but they are never to be confused or used interchangeably.
@jeshua568 I don't know how it shoots with a scope. I haven't out one on it yet. But at the range with iron sights it groups quite nicely. I have only taken it to 300 yards so far. It is more accurate then I am. I was able to shoot 2"-3" groups without a problem. With an optic and a bipod I am willing to bet it would perform even better.
@Jesses001 If you buy one that's rusted to all hell and has a crown that looks like it's been chewed on, I'd call you crazy for expecting decent groups for it. Like anything it requires patience. Check the bore, check the metal, always check the head-space before firing. If you've got a solid mosin, it shouldn't have any accuracy issues- Look at the Finnish ones!
Hey Hicock. Got into a bit of an argument with my dad, retired Army. When he was in, they still had the 1911. He was convinced it couldn't carry 7+1, just 7. I'm almost positive he's wrong on that. And he also said they never carried one in the chamber, and disagreed with me when I said most CCW owners always carry with one in the pipe. Can you (or any commenters) speak to this?
@stridingshadow It would be 58 years but I catch your gist. I just don't understand why ruger wouldnt make any, its obviously a pretty good market on that design since an M1A is what, $1500+. Just like stoeger owning the rights to the luger, or atleast the name. If I ran stoeger I'd definitely be making some wild caliber luger replicas instead of tacticool coach guns.
@hickok45 you are at video 588 and counting, we need a new range tour, which you have been mentioning a lot lately, so stop trolling and give us one. Also it would be nice if you could present us with a plan or a map or a birds eye view of the range, but that is totally just a suggestion and is up to you to decide.
"Bob" Frost?
Oh, Hickok- You remind me of my dad; gun-toting AND intelligent. Aren't too many of you left in the world. Hate to break it to you, but the average person watching your videos hasn't the slightest interest in poetry, let alone the slightest clue as to whom "Bob" Frost is...
Alright, at the risk of sounding stupid let me ask, what is the .308, i always thought that was the other name for a 7.62x39mm. Like how a .223 is another name for the 5.56x45mm. In the description of this vid hickok says this rifle shoots a .308/7.62x51mm. And im confused. Which one is it?
@Mako561 Well actually I have to buy my own firearm, which is why I'm asking. I see a lot of cops carrying Glock's but I've seen others carry Ruger's and Walther's but I haven't seen many carry Beretta's and I've heard people who own a Beretta and use it on-duty swear by it.
Some question the wisdom of a bolt action rifle but I'd say bolt action rifles are the best gun to train youngsters with. It enforces a discipline of having to pause (and hopefully think) between each shot rather than just spraying the target with a semi-auto.
@DTesch357 Yea I guess so. Thinking of it now Taurus would have never made it to their size today otherwise. They started out making nothing but cheap knock offs. Then again Kahr sued Daimondback firearms over a patent infringement. Maybe you just gotta pay enough to use the design.
@HAKIROX After you been around a range for some time, or just ppl shooting in general, it doesnt bother you at all whether you see them going to shoot or not, unless you arent wearing earplugs ;) John is Hickok45s son I think. There are few ppl as used to shooting as he is by now with his dad lol!
@johannesskaun74 not really, depending on the latitude of ones location and on the season the sun might be setting slightly futher north or south, ie north west or south west, or if you happen to be on the geographical north or south pole, the sun won't set at all, or won't rise at all.
Good vid. I logged in just to say....the sun sets in the West everywhere.....(if you live on earth), even here in Australia haha
little note to you hickock ;I'm pretty sure the sun rise east and sets west everywhere on earth thats because of its rotation! love your vids and it's terrible we cant own this rifle here in Canada due to it's short lenght. peace
@truenorth90 Yeah.. I get that now... Not new to hickok45 and usually get him straight away.... Just a bit slow on the uptake on that one!! (AND I'm SOOOO jealous of all the fun 'toys' he gets to play with! Only air pistols allowed here in the UK.. :-( )
hey hickock45 theres a new rifle out by mossberg i think you'll realy like its called the mossberg mvp it a .556 or .223 boltaction rifle but the kickers are it has a fluted bolt barrel and uses any ar15 mag they also have a couple different barrell lengths
I like the scout also, I looking forward to the new Ruger American rifle that is coming out in 308 soon. I wonder why you take the rifle down to your waist to bolt it? Try keeping it on your sholder and bolt it...much faster.
Its a wonder ruger never made a 308 M14 variant. They made one in .556 (mini14 obviously), one in 7.62x39 and the scout rifle that reminds me of a bolt action M14 by looks, but no semi auto 7.62x51. I guess that would cause a lawsuit by Springfield
"This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine"...Your a hellofa shot Hickok. Glad to see you took off that water pistol hat - what do you call it? Glock? Anyway, Springfield's a good look for you. Nice shooting out there...
Nice shooting and nice excuses! Anyone know the MSRP on this scout? I don't want to open anther TAB to find it myself. That's the problem with watching Hickok's channel, he makes all the guns look so fun and easy to shoot and I want them. When my wife sees me watching she says "No, you cant buy that one too"...
Just got a mini-14 tactical (brand new)...been having trouble with the rear sight loosening up after 10-20 rounds. Have to keep the hex key in my pocket to re tighten every now and then. I really need to get some Loctite.
@beaker126 They are Ruger magazines. I don't know if they outsource production, but they work perfectly in my experience. Also less weight and cost compared to the steel magazine that came with it when I bought the Scout.
@HotDawgStand1
maby he would in a combat environment.. but otherwise its more comfortable than hitting your face with your hands and pushing the bolt into your nose haha.
also gives him a good view of observation. :]
Another good video..I was just wondering when you talk about the lighting is the problem with the shadows on the target or trees or maybe getting sun glare in your right eye from the brim not shadowing the glare?
I love my Mausers and Bolt guns simply because they're handy and the funnest to shoot... as apposed to my AR's....
Just like i like to drive manual cars...
Dual clutch is faster, but it will never offer the same reliability and control as a manual...
Just likea bolt gun...
How much does it kick? 308 has plenty of power. When you work the bolt, it sounds clunky, not as smooth as other rifles you've profiled. Does it feel that way when you are working it? Also, did you add an extended butt pad onto the stock or did it come that way?
@skibum1610 This is his "B" range. He has 2. People always ask this. :P
Hickok! I just bought skinner ghost ring for my marlin 39a after watching your 39a video. i was just wondering if you would make a video about marksmanship and how to improve marksmanship?
5 round magazine for hunting here in New York State, but they never stated anything about a belt fed rifle. M1919A4. 30-06 Springfield. Take as many deer as you need for the family freezer!
@salmonking007 theres factory ammo for it withc helps ALOT. do you only use surplus ammo? if so that is prob your problem. if not and you allready know all this srry for wasting your time =)
really like this rifle been looking at the new Mossberg MVP too handy rifle in 5.56 b/a that takes AR-15 mags not sure if it will handle any higher cap than 10 round mags though still neat and pretty affordable be a nice coyote and vermin gun
@WatchPolitician Those are Howard Leight ear plugs. I bought a set and they rock, small compact and easy to put on, no standing around holding in those stand alone plugs. That band puts nice even pressure and ensure good seating in the ear.
@racksandbeards Do "first" comments really bother people that much? :P
Yes Mr. Hickok45, you love guns, all guns. Any size,shape,color or caliber you love them all. May I wish you one of each to enjoy and with plenty of ammo to boot !
enjoy my cyber freind
The mosin isn't really as inaccurate as people make it out to be if you've got a good one with a nice bore. The immense variation in ammunition is really what causes any "inaccuracy".
@hickok45 I'm truly a novice.lol but do you have the same problems with a pistol?I've told this to you before i wouldn't want to be on the receiving end with you pistol or rifle.lol
Can you get the Scout rifle with a longer barrel? I wonder if the barrel is long enough for the 308?? How long is that barrel? My guess is a 20 inch barrel for a 308..??
@streakfighter Oh, and if you're going for as accurate as possible, don't volly shot 20 rounds all at once. Let the barrel cool at least a minute before every shot.
Mr. Hickok, I would like to ask you a question. Say you're currently an on-duty police officer or PPO, which pistol would you trust your life with, a Glock 17 or Beretta PX4?
@killabee7060 He is, he just doesn't use the banner. If he would start using it, he would probably stop getting this question on every single video, over and over again.
Like the styling of Ruger guns and you make it all look so easy. With regard to the Sun, have you tried facing the other way and shooting over your shoulder?
