Wow, that is the only M77 MKII i've ever wanted to buy. It really makes me want to make my M77 MkI into a scout rifle. Do you have any idea if they make scout mounts for the old M77's?

Any competent gunsmith could drill and tap your rifle for it.

anyone with a tap and a basic understanding of how a ruler works could do it

the weight on those is super sexy too. A little bit more than Jeff Cooper would have liked (a little over 3.5 kg) once you have glass on it. Watching videos from shot show, Ruger really followed the concept. Even down to the goofy barrel taper that cuts weight and keeps accuracy while giving you room for a larger Obj. lens.

I just finished my scout rifle a few days ago and it rocks!

[KA-BAR]

nice job so far....still need iron sights on it, and scope rings that will allow you to use them.

[Noahtet493]

I shoot with both eyes open(front scope cap closed), so I like 1/3 lower cowittness with iron sights, that is why the scope is so low.

Is there a store that sells iron sights for the vsr 10?

I know this is a Necro post but had a question for Ka-Bar on if he cut down his barrel or if it what size barrel it is?

this is KA-BAR. my KA-BAR account is banned, so this is my word.

i did not alter the scout rifle from stock configuration at all. i wanted it to shoot "soft" around 400 fps. just like a AEG. then with the iron sights i can engage targets at much closer distances such as 50' - to 30 yards. then use the optics for long range shots.

also so that if i did shoot someone up close, they have no room to phony pony, because its shooting no hotter then a AEG.

that was the purpose of this rifle. as a DMR and something i could run with.

I'm assuming you used the. g-spec barrel from what I read the over all
length can't be longer than 39" and with the standard barrel is like 42" long

My friend has a scout sniper, sorta. Its very light, powerful, and compact. It has a foldable stock too. would that be one?
