Ok so I've been looking at this new Ruger Scout I like most things about it. It would make such an awesome deer gun for where I hunt.
Short overall length (I'd prefer an 18" barrel maybe)
.308win
Box mags
Bolt action
Looks cool

But I'm wondering if I can get all those features for cheaper from a different brand or something?

You just don't know how to cook.

Seriously though Would I be better off with something else with these features? If so what?

Illiterate cavemen used to kill deer with pointy sticks.

If you can't do it with a Mosin, you are a failure and should eat a bullet for the benefit of everyone else on the planet.

Civilian or military?
IF you want a military rifle I'd opt for a Mauser or Mosin-nagant. Mosin nuggets are cheap , about 100 bucks.

get a nugget, cheaper
or a K31, still cheap but more accurate
or a swedish mauser, little more expensive (than the K31) but a better caliber for deer

or hell, just about anything
had ruger went with M14/M1A, FAL, G3, or hell, even CETME mags, I'd say go for it, but they went with $70 each AI mags, single stack ones

There were no deer in cavemen times.

Almost everyone on this board does not own and has never fired a gun. This is not a good place to come for serious face advice. Notice how you listed criteria for what you're looking for in a rifle, and all these faggots scream that you need to go buy a Nagant, which has none of those criteria? Yeah.

If you truly are new here, you should know that /k/ is hostile over just about everything.
Everyone has strong opinions, almost no one has guns. Most people here also automatically assume that every poster is a troll because, more often than not, they are.
Personally, I don't know too much about the world of bolt action rifles. The only bolt actions I've ever wanted are the m1903 and the k98.
Ask about a bolt action here and you are going to get a slew of people insisting you buy a mosin nagant because they are cheap and the ammo is usually cheap.

My philosophy on guns is that if you want it: Get it.

If this gun has what you want, and you like it. Just shutup and buy it. Dont listen to faggots here who are incredibly bias, poor, or tacticool (or a combination).

From everyone i know that has one, its a fine rifle for hunting and will get done what any normal person would need it to. The only drawback is that ruger made proprietary mags which they love to do.

Alright OP, It is a good rifle.
>It looks cool
>The shorter barrel doesn't effect ballistics very much (it's a negligible gain with a longer barrel)
>The rail placement is weird, but I've been told you can mount a traditional scope
>Ruger did fuck up with the mags, but I've been told you can feed it via a clip

Overall, if you can afford it, I say get it, it looks like a very good hunting rifle.

You might also look at a Savage 110 instead of the Rem 700. Lots of people prefer the trigger on the savage, and they're typically a little cheaper. Well... they're typically cheaper where I live (Texas).

Ok sounds good I'm glad some of you are helpful sorry to upset the rest of you.
I think I'm just gonna stick with my r700 30-06 for deer. I just wanted something with box mags, maybe I'll just have to get an M14/FAL for .308win fun.

I support the FAL idea. Just bought myself an SA-58 with 4 20-round mags and 2 10-rounders . Awaiting its arrival at my local FFL. I'd suggest you go to Gunbroker.com. They have decent deals sometimes.

I'll second the guy who recommended the rem 700. My dad has one in 30-06 that I've shot a few times. Good gun. I don't like how either one of them look (the 700 and the Ruger Scout) as far as >>looks cool
And I have no experience with the ruger, but I'll tell you the 700 shoots pretty sweet.

OP here you typically use a low power optic, 1-3x and its mounted ahead of the action. I thought it would be good since where I hunt we do a lot of deer drives so you're walking and need to make quicker shots so a big scope would be a drawback.
