The eclectic mix of rifles in this year’s test offers something for nearly everyone. For sheer versatility, the Ruger Gunsite Scout is a rifle that lives up to its billing as a do-everything, go-anywhere .308, and is proof that the quality of Ruger’s hammer-forged barrels has improved dramatically. The Sauer 303 is frightfully expensive, yes, but this .30-06’s speed and handling can make you forget the $4,500 price. For lovers of classic bolt guns, the introductions from Sako and Montana Rifle Company offer good news, while Savage continues to expand into new markets, thanks to its innovative and aggressive approach. Small-game hunters also have a couple of new rimfires–one from CZ and the other from Marlin–to look forward to.
