The Scout is the first ever center-fire only rifle, but what a rifle it is. Sleek, lightweight and an incredible value for the dollar, the Scout sets a new standard for affordable single-shot hunting rifles. All Scout barrels are fluted and available in either Blued Steel or 416 Stainless Steel. Stocks are 100% ambidextrous - making them versatile not only for all shooters, but for all off-side opportunities in the field. The Scout Compact .243 model is a "compact" design - meaning that the barrel is an easily maneuverable 20" (2" shorter than the Standard model) and the stock is 1" shorter than the Standard model stock. Therefore , this gun will be a great choice for a child's first deer rifle or as a lightweight, quick-handling brush or truck gun for just about anyone. Also, a coupon for the purchase of the full-length standard stock is included with each Scout Compact gun, allowing up-sizing when the child is big enough for a full-length stock. Other Calibers in the Standard Scout inclue .243, 7mm-08, .270, .30-06 and .35 Whelen, that all come with the standard stock and 22" barrel. Plus, they come with DuraSight Dead-ONTM Integral Mounts, rather than open sights - since most shooters will be inclined to scope this "little jewel" of a rifle.
