[QUOTE="tinfinger, post: 1518409, member: 4386"] According to this month's American Rifleman, the designer of the Ruger scout insisted on a 16" barrel because he liked the way the M77 Frontier (a 16" barrel also) handled. My concern would be the muzzle blast, but if the OP is correct and its not too bad I would certainly be OK with the 16" barrel. Same article said that Jeff Cooper was a big fan of the Winchester 94 and Mannlicher carbine due to their handling qualities. So a 16" bolt action is in the spirit of those quick and handy carbines. I looked over a few Ruger Scout at the gunshow and was fairly impressed by the overall product. The AI single column mag is OK if it is as reliable as people say they are. [/QUOTE]
