Savage Model 11 Scout-I really like this one...
Savage already had a rifle they called the Scout, but this one is much closer to the Gunsite formula, and gives you all the Scout hardware at a considerably lower price than Ruger. It comes in .308 only, and its synthetic stock is adjustable both for length of pull and for comb height, which is a very good idea. Savage has equipped it with a decent set of iron sights, an Accu-Trigger, and a detachable 10-round magazine. Barrel length is 18 inches, and weight is 7.8 pounds. In place of the Ruger Scout’s flash suppressor, there is a slotted muzzle brake, so this one should be a truly soft kicker. Savages shoot very, very well, and because of its short barrel this one should be somewhat better than average. The Model 11 Scout is too new for me to find a real-world price for it, but the MSRP is $794, which buys you a lot of rifle for the money.

Looks an awful lot like an improved version of the Ruger Gunsite scout rifle.As Mr. Petzal said- the adjustable comb height and length of pull are a good idea-and a big part of why I like it- Every Savage rifle I've ever had was very accurate,had a model 99 .308 that I got rid of when I was young and didn't know all that much about rifles-been kickin' myself in the ass ever since I figured out I should've kept that 99.
Here's Ruger's version of the scout rifle...
