Four tries in the opening 17 minutes set up the win as the Bulls charged to a 24-0 lead.
Visions of the belting's dished out to Barraba and Quirindi in recent weeks would have undoubtedly flashed through fans' heads as the Bulls charged down field with relative ease.
They scored tries with their first three touches of the ball.
Coach Damien Kelly said the most pleasing aspect of the win was the way they kept their line in tact for the third week in a row.
The only points conceded in their last 240 minutes of rugby came via two penalty goals against Barraba last weekend.
"Scone played a bit more footy than we've faced in the last two weeks so to keep them scoreless was the most pleasing," he said.
"By halftime we knew we had the game won so then we just wanted to work on our defence which is probably why we didn't score as many points at the end but we wanted to start building for next week," he said.
The win sets up a mouthwatering clash with Narrabri next Saturday.
In reserve grade, the Bulls charged past 100 for the second time in three weeks when they smashed a listless Scone side 120-0.
