The pictures of it make it look like its the grandpa of my two Ruger American Ranch rifles.  A 6.5 Grendel and 300 BLK.  

It is...

I'm glad you did it!  The Ruger American Scout was just released this year, 2026, and replaced my older M77 Hawkeye-actioned gun, completely. You're lucky you found it, because the .308 Win version is already sold out and I'm trying to find one...  

Good shiit, brother.

It looks and feels like a solid rifle, can't wait to shoot it.

If you hate it and think it sucks - just let me know, and I'll send you my FFL's info to buy it from you, and ship it to him...

You can't find the 5.56 version either? i bet there is a few on gunbroker.

I just looked, there is a bunch of em on GB in 308, 5.56 and even 7.62x39

I'm after the .308, and there ain't many left in stock anywhere.  I just need my Gun Pusher to find one.

You're my hold-out for that unicorn 5.56...   

Oh, Fuk GB, too.  MSRP on the new Scout is $929.  Street is $720~$740.  I'm not paying some clown on GB over MSRP for a gun - when you never pay MSRP for a gun...
