Evening all,
Does Savage still make their Scout rifle? As I recall it is a Model 10. The one I had when they were introduced was very good, came with iron sights and I was able to add a Burris Scout scope with no problem. I foolishly traded it away and have regretted it since then. I maintain a decent collection of heavy barrel rifles in .308 and bought the Scout because I was interested in the concept and wanted a woods gun in a smaller and lighter size. As with most of my rifles then I got it in .308. It was exactly what I wanted. Most hunting for me is in fairly dense woods so most shots will be under 100 yards. The lower power scope was not a hindrance and delivered good service. My shooting interests have changed a bit the last few years but I think I would like another Savage Scout rifle. Are they still made? Can they be found very often at gun shows? Thanks.
