Savage Scout Rifle vs Savage Hog Hunter

[PewPewPewCo]

^Savage Scout 308- $600

^ Savage Hog hunter $400

That savage scout looks so damn sexy.

Both guns are threaded, but the scout comes with the brake
Both guns have iron sights, but the Scouts is a peep sight with longer radius
The scourt comes with adjustable cheek piece
The Scout comes with detachable mag, the hog hunter does not use mags
The scout uses the accustock, the hog hunter does not.
Both have large bolt knob and accutrigger


I love my hog hunter, its a .5 MOA gun, but that scout(with the sights removed and standard scope rail added) would be a serious competitor with the cheek piece and detachable box mag.

any thoughts? it may have a smaller barrel profile, but not sure

First I have seen of the scout. I'm pretty interested though.

Only played with the hog hunter. Shot one suppressed and was pretty sweet. Looks like the scout is out comparable to the Ruger Gunsite Scout which is amazing!

 

[Laufen]

Hog Hunter ftw. I do like the option for a scout scope though.

Good for you, I just didn't have any appeal with savage guns... Wasn't what I was brought up on

 

[madHatter]

Oh and that southern bless your heart stuff means nothing to a yank


(Even though I know it is an insult.. Nd blah blah blah)

 

[madHatter]

However!!!

This won't stop me from trying to shoot a savage scout. It wasn't available when I was looking g for this sort of gun.

Detachable mag would be nice. Cheek piece would be cheap to buy. Sight radius isn't a deal maker for me. If yours shoots half moa I would stick with it.

If your going to replace the brake and mount a scope I don't see any huge benefit on the scout rifle over the hog hunter.

Accustock, detachable mag, and adjustable cheek weld

My Hoghunter shoots well under moa with good handloads, but the lack of a detachable magazine, and flimsy stock make me wish that I had gone for a HS Precision equipped edition.

Accustock, detachable mag, and adjustable cheek weld

I guess thats worth the extra $200 bucks, & I do like the "peep" sight on the Scout rifle.

What does it matter? You haven't shot your hog hunter in over a year.

Hell... I have not shot A LOT of my rifles in over a year.... So now I just buy ammo, for rifles & pistols I don't shoot...

lolz

Scout all the way. Laufen endorsed. Detachable box mag, peep, rail, slimmer barrel profile, fuck man if Jeff Cooper could rise out of his grave he'd give it his endorsement too. You don't buy a scout rifle to be aheavy fucking club. It's a streamlined, duck and run machine.

Quit shaming me into shooting wiith you!

I really need to put that bushnell through its paces.

 

[AtlMedic]

Is the stock and detachable mag worth the price difference to you?

Do you need a peep sight if your going to have an optic?

The muzzle device I'm sure would be replaced anyway and the adjustable comb should be easy enough to add to the hog hunter.

But, it is a cool rifle and I'm sure you'd enjoy it.
