"Good choice and there is the Ruger Gunsite Scout. But they both have ten round detachable mags. Which lots of states a mag capacity over 5rds is illegal. But I do think both rifles have 5rd hunting mags too.
Just check your states laws and the manufacturers to be sure."

"You can buy 5 rnd mags for them or install round limiters in the 10 rnd mags

Thanks for the nod, I love my Scout"

"My .308 is a Savage (straight from Wal-mart with a Bushnell 3-9 X 40 scope on raised rings). Total cost was under $300.

It tends to stick with steel cases after a few rounds, but with brass if fires beautifully.

Any scope, bypod, etc is aftermarket, so get what you want and can afford. I've found bypods to be generally overpriced for what they are. I use a shooting stick (hand carved) when standing. When hunting, I'm usually using the rail or windowsash of the deer stand."
