Buy recommendations Ruger scout vs CVA sr80

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

Franchi Momentum All-Terrain and the Sabatti Rover Scout you should also consider

Or go for a used M77 scout.

Both a touch out of my budget, also looked for a M77 scout but can’t find one less then 2000.

Fair enough. Between the two you’re considering I’d personally go CVA but I think both would be solid choices
