Ruger Gunsite Scout Synthetic Bolt 308 Win/7.62 NATO 16.1" Barrel 10+1 Rounds Synthetic Stock Black
The Gunsite Scout Rifle has a forward mounted Picatinny rail that allows for the mounting of modern optics and a soft rubber recoil pad with buttpad spacers allowing the rifle to be properly sized for different shooters. Developed with Gunsite, this rifle is "Gunsite Approved" and features logo engraved on the grip cap and name roll marked on the receiver. It has an accurate sighting system with ghost ring adjustable rear aperture sight and a protected non-glare post front sight. Patented integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid-steel receiver, provide a stable mounting surface for scope rings, eliminating a potential source of looseness and inaccuracy in the field (scope rings included). The Gunsite Scout also includes a rugged, one-piece, stainless steel bolt; three-position safety; studs for mounting sling swivels; medium contour cold hammer-forged free floating barrel; glass reinforced nylon trigger guard and magazine well.

The 7.62X51mm NATO cartridge was adopted by the U.S. in the M14 rifle in 1957. NATO adopted it in the same year, but in other platforms. The 7.62X51mm is essentially a shortened 30-06 case, allowing a more compact action and more compact ammunition at very minor cost in performance. A side benefit--which might not have been anticipated--is improved accuracy because of the greater efficiency of the shorter case. Although 7.62X51mm has been largely supplanted by the 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge in service rifles, it is still widely used by militaries around the world and remains a primary cartridge for light and medium machineguns. Due to its exceptional accuracy it is also a very common cartridge for military sniping at ranges to a bit beyond 1000 yards. The civilian version, the 308 Winchester, was introduced in 1952 while the 7.62X51MM was still in the experimental stages. — Craig Boddington
