Scout Rifles

I love firearms as much as anybody, but I really love underrated firearms that are different and stand out from the crowd. This might be why scout rifles have always held a special place in my heart.

Scout rifles, often considered the Swiss Army knives of the firearm world, are nothing new. They date back a while and are designed to provide versatility, functionality, and overall practicality to a wide array of shooting applications. Let’s be real; there’s not much that these things can’t do. This might also be why they’ve really grown in popularity over the years, although I still think most people are underappreciating them and what they can do.

The Scout Rifle

At their core, scout rifles are rifles that are lightweight and feature a compact design. This makes them ideal for a wide variety of applications, especially for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and tactical shooters alike. Unlike a traditional rifle, scout rifles will usually have a forward-mounted optic that gives the shooter faster target acquisition and improved awareness of their surroundings.

Scout rifles will also typically have a detachable box magazine allowing for quicker reloads and a short and compact stock that is handy to carry around. The real benefit of these guns is that they can thrive in a wide variety of shooting applications. Stalking game in the thick brush? A scout rifle is a great choice. What about navigating rugged terrain where every ounce counts? A scout rifle can help with that.

With their blend of accuracy, maneuverability, and overall durability, these rifles have earned a respected place amongst shooters even if they are not the most popular option in the gun store. With that being said, which ones stand above the rest?

The Ruger Gunsite Scout: A Modern Classic

One of the most popular scout rifles out there today is the Ruger Gunsite Scout. This rifle was created with precision and purpose in mind, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from a great company such as Ruger. This rifle is a workhouse, capable of some excellent accuracy no matter what your shooting conditions call for.

With a rugged and reliable design, this rifle can withstand just about anything you can throw at it. The synthetic stock is very sturdy with a matte finish, adding to the resilience that the gun was designed for. But what makes it stand out is the options you’ll have when it comes to mounting optics.

This rifle has a forward-mounted Picatinny rail, allowing shooters to attach a wide range of optics from traditional scopes to red dot sights. They are bombproof and will hold your optic onto the firearm with ease. Available in various calibers such as .308 Winchester and .223 Remington, this is important as you don’t want the recoil to knock your scope off.

Whether you’re using this gun for hunting or simply for a fun day at the range, I can promise you that you will not be disappointed in this modern classic. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only option out there either. Let’s take a look at another great scout rifle: the CVA V2 scout rifle.

The CVA V2 Scout Rifle: New Kid on the Block

This rifle is making waves, and it’s not too hard to see why. A relative newcomer to the scout rifle scene, it’s quickly making a name thanks to its lightweight and compact design combined with its impressive performance and durability. The V2 is exactly what a scout rifle should be while coming in at a great price.

One of the standout features of this rifle is its chambering in .300 Blackout, a caliber that is extremely popular these days. It can give a shooter plenty of versatility and effectiveness in a wide range of shooting applications. Whether you’re hunting game in dense brush or engaging targets at close to mid-range, the .300 Blackout is the perfect pairing with a scout rifle and CVA combined two flawlessly.

The CVA V2 Scout also will catch your eye thanks to its sleek and minimalist design. Like the Ruger, it has a synthetic stock with a matte finish with everything you need and nothing that you don’t.

But maybe the greatest aspect of the CVA V2 Scout is its performance and reliability in the field. With a cold hammer-forged barrel and excellent engineering, this rifle delivers exceptional accuracy and consistency shot after shot. Plus, its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to carry around even for hours on end. Perfect for stalking game in the backcountry or navigating tight urban environments.

Are You Ready for a New Scout Rifle?

Both the Ruger and CVA scout rifles have their merits and both are amazing guns. They both are excellent contributions to what a scout rifle should be. Whether you’re in the woods on a hunt or ringing steel, scout rifles are there to rise to the occasion and help you achieve your goals.

So, as you think about your next gun purchase, I highly suggest considering a new scout rifle. These guns are more than just firearms, they are versatile tools that will never let you down. So go ahead and grab yourself a new one and let the adventure begin!
