Ruger scout vs CVA sr80

[u/macmuaythai]

Right now I am between these two rifles

CVA cascade sr 80 308

Ruger American scout gen 2 308

I like the scout rifle concept for its lightweight design and shorter barrel for use in the back country, also as an alternative “battle rifle” considering we can’t get AR 10s anymore.

Biggest factor leaning me to the Ruger now is the full length rail, non proprietary mag, and shorter barrel

I don't think you can really go wrong with the Ruger and Ruger Americans have a pretty decent aftermarket if you ever want to tinker with and upgrade it
