Ruger "Cub Scout"

[Mike Barham]

Some also call it a Mini Cooper.

I had this built as an "understudy" to my Steyr Scout prior to some rifle training at Gunsite Academy. With the classes behind me, I don't find myself shooting it much anymore. Besides, as an Appleseed instructor, most of my .22 trigger time is on a 10/22 these days.

Ruger American Rimfire in .22LR
Takes 10/22 mags (one included)
Timney trigger - very clean, light break, adjustable
Vortex 2-7 variable Scout IER scope (optics are bright and clear)
Custom scout mount from Jerry Dove
Adjustable LOP stock (I have both short and long spacer lengths)
Langlois Rhodesian sling from The Wilderness (your choice of black or coyote, the latter pictured)
Stock Cerakoted olive green (it matched my Steyr)
Shot relatively little, range use only, extremely clean rifle

I have the original trigger and probably the iron sights somewhere if you want them.

If you want to try the Scout Rifle style without spending a pile of money on ammo, this little Cub Scout is the way. Or maybe you're like me a couple years ago and headed to Gunsite for rifle class and need some low-cost practice. It's also just a nice, fairly refined .22 that's a lot of fun to shoot.

Not really interested in trades, unless by some miracle you have a Krag sporter with a good bore.
