Feets / Collection / My build Ruger Scout Gen II
Picked up a Gen II Ruger Scout in 308 today. Not nearly as solid or pretty as my Gunsite Scout, but I'll put a Burris Scout scope on it and see how it shoots this weekend. Also, anyone know what the little black knurled thing that came in the box is?

I really like the look of these rifles. I've owned 2 Gen 2s, a Ranch 5.56 and a Predator 308, and neither shot very good sadly. Maybe I just got duds as many guys swear by them. Ended up selling both in the end.
Not a huge fan of the spiral fluting on them as it just introduces potential for warping under heat. I like that they did away with it on the Scout models. I much prefer a solid medium to heavy profile over spiral fluting. I think the Scouts look great and probably keep better POI consistency without having the fluting.
