Ruger Gunsite scout feedback

Ryan I would keep the LM
license the scout under section 15 (10 years)

I have the Scout Rifle in question and have been hunting with it for he past 2 years, probably shot around 50+ animals with it from Warthogs to Eland and it works like a charm from 10m - 256m, anything further becomes a little bit difficult because of the scout scope.
The only downside with this rifle is the sound, it is proper loud.
I have been hunting with ear protection ever since and installed a muzzle brake and silencer combo on this rifle.

I hope you EDC a hi capacity handgun. I think that is the most logical starting point.

Guys thanks for the feedback, I have given it some thought and will try to formulate a plan to keep the LM or AR should I decide to swop.

I still like the look of the scout though!

Is it possible to repost this attachment ?

I have an Ishapore 2A1 that needs a new stock and the barrel has already been cut to scout length and threaded l figured the best use of it would be to convert it to a scout rifle.

Which direction should I look locally for a stock
to start with the process?

I see that Guns & Bows advertise the ATI moulded plastic stock sets for the SMLE's. This may be a good and cost-effective option?

I would keep the LM. If I could not own a LM I would rather get a lever gun in 45/70 like a marlin 1895 sbl with a red dot sight. My very limited 2c.

Saw that DSG also has those but I'm unsure which No1 or MK
fits the 2A1, there's two other companies locally one is
Smoking Guns and Armtec Fibreglass stocks.

Has anyone tried any of these?

Or any other suggestions ?
