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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
As a patrol rifle instructor for my department you are correct about the sunlight. The sun will cast a shadow on the front sight post. If the sun does in fact set to your west, which I'm sure it does, and the places the sun to your right the post will be wider to the left. I really like this rifle and have been thinking about one for myself.
I like them because they remind me of the sporterized military rifles that I grew up with deer hunting. I'm also a big fan of the mag and the military type sights that I am so comfortable with !...Great Vid !!!
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!!
Hickok is right on about the sun setting thing. I will not shoot in my backyard in the evening when the sun is low and shining on the side of my face. I miss way more targets. It throws you off for some reason. Of coarse on a cloudy day does not matter. I think Hickok could hit his targets in a blinding snowstorm, in the dead of night. He is amazing !!!!
I took back the rifle to the store where I purchased and it was sent back to Ruger and they fix the problem, I took it back to the range and worked properly, I used iron sight and very good accuracy. I thing this rifle is good it is a double purpose rifle, you can use it for hunting and home defense. Regarding "Scout Rifle", in my point of view this rifle do not fill that concept because it is a bolt action rifle and today we have a variety of other better options like semiautomatic rifles that can have rapid fire, more rounds in the magazine and better accuracy. It is a good rifle I am happy to own it and thanks to Hickok45 for his always good and polite reviews on firearms. Happy new year
LtCol Cooper’s written description of the “scout rifle” specified a bolt action. Significantly, he originated and defined the concept. Therefore, your assertion that other designs are scout rifles simply is erroneous. Of course, this does not suggest that other designs - such as ARs - aren’t perfectly good alternatives.,
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.
I luv that rifle, u have the best firearm vids period u old school in ur approach, discuss history, and u explain everything with humour too, thank u very much I spend lot watching ur amazing vids and learning a lot thank u.
No matter what you say about your misses, you are still a great shot to me. That's what I like about your videos, they are real. This is an excellent bolt action weapon. I live it when we shoot a gun, and then we have to have it. I just wish I could shoot any rifle half that good. Have a good day...
Man that thing hits HARD!!! Bolt action .308's are a blast (literally)! Sorry again about Gunner...I miss seeing him in the vids. He seemed to be a good dog.
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!
That rifle looks delightful to shoot, nice, handy, and short. With the Mosin anything within range of the 7.62x54R round can also be simultaneously dispatched by fixing the bayonet.
That's on my list of things to purchase ASAP! I've had a little bit of trouble finding them but I have my sights on one right now. I can't wait to get it looks like it's pretty accurate with open sights! Great Video!
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.
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
@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. :-)
I love my Ruger GSR in .308. A couple things to add is that noted gun editor/writer and t.v. host Ed Head from Gunsite was instrumental in working with Ruger in the designing of this rifle. Also, I believe the magazines are Accuracy International mags, so thankfully Ruger is now making their own polymer versions. I love your reviews and hope that You-Tube and Google quit messing with your videos. Keep up the great work!
This second video of yours on the Scout makes me feel much more confident about it. I'm getting the hots for this baby now. My last .308 was an Ishapore/Enfield. Got about 500 rounds left from it which need a good new tube to send 'em out there, and I think maybe I've found it. But I haven't seen any of these for under around $800.
@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.
Great Video, i have the Scout rifle in the Australian version, (slightly longer stainless Barrel) and have always had a scope on it, this video has prompted me to put the ghost ring back on, get to the range and practice!
This gun is impossible to get a hold of around here in Central Illinois. It's a pain. I wanted a bolt action/ semi-auto .308 and I saw this one online, can't find it so now I'm going to go get an M1A Scout Squad. Thanks for always giving awesome reviews @hickok45
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
Nice rifle, I love mine, bought it yesterday :D I was considering an AR, but, I just loved the look of it in your other video, and loved the way it felt when I checked it out in person.
@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I have someone's early attempt at making one of those. Its a 7mm Spanish Mauser cavalry carbine with a sporterized stock. I think the barrel may have even been cut down (don't have specs on what it originally was). Its a very handy size.
@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. :-)
@@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.
I like your reviews on fire arms all are very useful and very pragmatic I enjoy it and that ones on glock are really very nice. I just want to add about this rifle may be I had bad luck when I purchased mine recently but all the good things of the rifle were opaqued by a couple of problems that I found. The main problem was that some times the rifle fail to eject the cartridge, the other issue it was with the 10 round steel magazine that comes with the rifle it barely hold 9 rounds, and another thing I would like the butt stock of the rifle a little bit large. May be I will consider take back the rifle to the store or contact Ruger to fix the problem
At 3:31 "Why do you need a bolt action rifle" It's very simple really, you ought to have one that shoots your SHTF ammo for a survival firearm. Wife and I each have a bolt action rifle in the caliber of our MSR rifles. We have that because of efficiency. We have hunting rounds and defensive rounds however the hunting rounds can be used for defense if necessary.
I’ve had mine for nearly 6 years. One of my favorite guns. It’s just so beautiful.
I was 13 when I first saw these videos. 12 years later and I finally bought a ruger scout
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.

Two years late with this but, this gun is CA legal tho?

This one and the suppressed Rossi lever-action SBR
Get one you won’t be sorry.

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've heard these tend to shoot around 1 moa or less at 100 yards- nice!
u r still one of the best shots i have ever seen Hickok, keep up the good work

Next video with that rifle should be "Epic long range woods walk". Great video as always.
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!!
"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:)

Picked mine up on friday, I agree with you, life is good,what can i say, I like to shoot.
Thanks for your time
Roger
Yes sir Mr Hickock... Life is really good when you have a personal range ;-)
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.
Love the way 308 just puts things down
Life is good! and the more you say it, the better it becomes. Good shooting Hickock.
Every time you show a great gun I feel like I have to go out and buy one!!!
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.
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.
Man I love that Gunsite Scout. I hope the gun show next month has one, it'll be coming home with me.
Polymer mags fit perfectly, no play whatsoever, they also come with a little dust cover if your storing or packing in the elements.
I luv that rifle, u have the best firearm vids period u old school in ur approach, discuss history, and u explain everything with humour too, thank u very much I spend lot watching ur amazing vids and learning a lot thank u.

There are something estetic about a bolt action... just feels better...
Like you get closer to the rifle.
It is FC from Thailand! I always love your videos. I just got a Ruger Scout Rifle couple months ago. Your shooting range is amazing.
Yes yes yes on the new mags.
I bought a few myself.
Much better than the original metal boxes
@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.
Great Video, i have the Scout rifle in the Australian version, (slightly longer stainless Barrel) and have always had a scope on it, this video has prompted me to put the ghost ring back on, get to the range and practice!
Thanks for sharing. Ruger makes some very useful tools. Stay sharp and live long.
The Ruger Gunsite scout rifle is a sweet gun for sure.
Awesome video, wish it was a bit longer! I can't wait to see Hickok45 try out the new Ruger American Rifle. That thing looks sweet for the price!
Lol, the sun sets in the west everywhere! Unless the earth starts spinning in the opposite direction.
Great vid... As always.
Blaming misses on the sun. Haha. Best hickok45 excuse yet! Awesome rifle.
Great little rifle! I really want them to come out with a hybrid of the foreign version and have it in stainless!
Like the Ruger Scout more than the Savage Scout. And way more than fhe Mossberg Scout. Accuracy & quality wise.
Thanks Hickok have been waiting to see this chapter 2 for awhile
Just bought mine ruger gsr 2 months ago. It's a great rifle and very fu. To shoot. Already put about 100 rounds through it.
Having the Gunsite Scout rifle in .243, would make a nice companion rifle.
We get to laugh at hickok45's dry wit and the comments of those who don't get it. Win-win.
Nothing beats the sound of a bolt being worked back and forth...
That 308 gets out there double quick and let's it KNOW it's been hit.
Getting this rifle in a couple of weeks. Can't wait!
yes why love you hickok i havent found a bolt action rifle that like yet
Hell of a rifleman. Nice shooting
This gun is impossible to get a hold of around here in Central Illinois. It's a pain. I wanted a bolt action/ semi-auto .308 and I saw this one online, can't find it so now I'm going to go get an M1A Scout Squad.
Thanks for always giving awesome reviews @hickok45
yes, it comes with ruger scope rings, you will have to remove the rear sight as it mounts where the rear ring mounts.
Got one of these in .308 for Christmas this year.
Sounds like John's having a good time on the four wheeler!
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
Greetings from Central europe
I love the videos from you i spent my sunday siting relaxing and watching HICKOK45 videos
Excelent
I have one with the leupold scout scope and love it.....smoked multiple muley's with it.
That's a fine little rifle. Thanks for the video.
Nice rifle, I love mine, bought it yesterday :D I was considering an AR, but, I just loved the look of it in your other video, and loved the way it felt when I checked it out in person.

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
I really like this rifle and have been looking for one. It looks so kool. Reminds Me of the Enfield No.5 Jungle Carbine. Which is another favorite.
This. My exact thought the first time I saw it. Kind of pricy though at $899
@killabee7060 , See most recent FAQ video, and perhaps a few hundred others we've done when you get time. :-)
@hickok45 great shooting once again...you should see what that .308 will do to a four-wheeler
ahh subtle. I think I may have heard a story about the road not taken. Very nice if I recall.
That is a sweet rifle. Hard to beat .308.
watches first 5 seconds: looks like hickok45 is finally doing that daisy bb gun reveiw
"Now watch me miss him". BOOM. Perfect shot.
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.
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.
Hickock , your the best !
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.

Nice little rifle. Might just have to add one to my collection.
