Ruger Scout Rifle now also chambered in .350 Legend

The recently introduced .350 Legend cartridge is seeing a burst of interest from US manufacturers (another example here): here comes Ruger with its Scout Rifle in .350 Legend.

The straight-walled .350 Legend is a caliber developed by Winchester for short- and mid-range hunting that offers excellent muzzle energy and mild recoil. On the other hand, Ruger's Scout bolt-action rifle series is popular and much appreciated for its ruggedness, and already includes versions chambered in .308 Winchester, 5.56mm and even in .450 Bushmaster. The new rifle in .350 Legend shares many of the features already seen in other Scout models, such as a black synthetic stock, a muzzle brake, and a forward-mounted Picatinny rail that allows for the mounting of modern optics for "both eyes open" sighting and rapid target acquisition. The stock includes a forward aluminum bedding block and rear aluminum pillar that positively locate the receiver.
