Just picked up the new Scout in .308. I checked the trigger pull with my Lyman digital gauge. Factory setting was about 4# 11oz. I managed with my first adjustment to get to 3#11 oz or so.

Not bad. I might like closer to 3# but I will see how this works at the range first.

Planning to mount a Weaver 4x scout scope. I would also like to try something like a Burris Fastfire or other light dot sight but I do have an astigmatism that is a problem for me.

I will start with checking the iron sights. I would like to have them set up for 100 yards. The scope I would set up for 200 yard zero.

I torqued the action screws to 40 inch pounds. The manual has no torque specs. I find that odd.

More to follow.
