    Ruger Scout Rifle .308

    Re: Ruger Scout Rifle .308 The "scout rifle" concept is to use a low power scope mounted forward of the receiver so that the shooter can keep both eyes open, and quickly locate targets, both moving and stationary. For that, you need an intermediate-relief scope, such as the "scout" scope...

    22 LR Dilemma of sorts.

    Re: 22 LR Dilemma of sorts. My kids started out using iron sights, and when we go plinking, they still often prefer to shoot the .22s that don't have scopes on them. I have long used the Tasco Varmint 2.5-10x 42mm scope on some of my .22s. It has an adjustable objective and a mil-dot...

    Chassis Systems.....

    Re: Chassis Systems..... I have the XLR for my Savage Model 12, and it is a real pleasure to shoot. Lots of adjustment available, and feeding from the magazine is ultra smooth. I have been thinking about getting another for an FN action, and Kyle at XLR has been very responsive to questions.
