[QUOTE="veriest1, post: 575631, member: 17414"] I looked at a Stainless/Walnut one at Cabela's yesterday. Beautiful gun and, contrary to some reports, the one I saw had a super smooth bolt. Judging by what I saw while I was there it's probably been pawed and cycled by half the customers that came to the gun counter. :rolleyes: Saw a Steyr scout there too and it's a lot nicer in the hand than in pictures... but that price tag is still ridiculous. If it were close to $1000 I'd have to ponder things before buying the Ruger. I had some gift cards to spend so I went ahead and picked a Leupy FXII 2.5x28 since I'm scheduled to pick my GSR up tomorrow. It's surprisingly bright for a 28mm objective. The glass is typical of Leupold's in in that price range and taking it out at dusk last night showed a lot of promise. A friend of mine has a VXII or III (I don't know which) but it'll be interesting to compare them side by side. So what are the lightest quick detach rings for this thing? Talley? I can't seem to find any aluminum ones from any manufacturer. Due to unforeseen circumstances I still have my buck tag so I'm anxious to give the scout a whirl before the season is over. I'd love to hear about how it serves on your wolf hunt too so let me know. :) [/QUOTE]
