Ruger's Gunsite Scout Rifle is developed with Gunsite, which makes it "Gunsite Approved" and features the Gunsite name rollmarked on the receiver. It has a forward-mounted Picatinny rail which allows for the mounting of modern optics and a built-in, accurate sighting system with ghost ring adjustable rear aperture sight and a non-glare, blade front sight. Patented integral scope mounts, are machined directly on the solid-steel receiver which provides a stable mounting surface. The non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward. The Gunsite Scout Rifle also has a free-floated, cold hammer-forged barrel with ultra-precise rifling, three-position safety, sling swivel studs, detachable box magazine with push-forward magazine release, and a soft rubber buttpad with buttpad spacers. This model has a 16.1" stainless steel barrel and a black synthetic stock.
