What's a scout rifle?
>>64286689A rifle used by scouts
>>64286689A scout used by rifles.
>>64286689A miserable little pile of secrets?
A fun idea that get's people riled up for some reason
>>64286689A carbine with extra steps. Autism project by the guy behind 10mm.In the modern day, it's some weird b& st8 cope. Strange way to enjoy shooting but w/e I got better stuff to be worried about.
>>64286783Case in point>>64286787
>>64286787>by the guyBy the genius!
>>64286796??? I'm not riled up? Are you looking for an argument?
>>64286783>A fun idea>>64286787>carbine with extra stepsYous under 35 don't remember how desparate the gun rights landscape was in '94. Semi autos were on the verge of going out and a one gun, bolt action "partisan rifle" made sense. There was discussion of limiting magazime capacity, banning semiauto actions, banning bayonet lugs, banning flash hiders, banning private sales, banning gunshows, banning shoulder things that go up. 32 rnd Glock mags were $100, 25 rnd 10/22 mags were $35. 30 rnd Thermold AR mags were $30.IT WAS INSANITY, AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GOOD YOU HAVE IT.
>>64286815Relax anon I was baiting but ya, people don't get it because they try to think of it as a solution to a problem that can only be answered with [scout rifle] but that's not really the point
>>64286836>shoulder thing that goes upI remember this. Probably why they don't really make comments on the things they try to ban anymore, it will only reveal their ignorance and serve the opposition
they're fun because LER scopes are cool but ultimately pretty shit. the only scout rifle ever worth consdiering is the steyr scout w/ the original leupold scout scope. all others are cringe.
>>64286879>reveal their ignorance and serve the oppositionYet the "Police Protection Act" passed and Clinton signed it into law for 10 years. Without the lobbying efforts of the NRA it would not have had the "features" verbage OR the sunset clause and would have been permanent. But >oh no, nra ebilFaggots weren't even there.
>>64286836>>64286879Still processing how the shoulder thing that goes up meme was brought to us by none other than Tucker Carlson.
>>64286689another meaningless term autists will spend hours arguing about
>>64286929His reaction was classic "Guam will capsize/we don't anticipate that happening".
A bolt action designed to fill the niche of a lever action.
>>64286932>meaningless termI totally disagree, and I could tell you why, but Gilligan is coming on.
>>64286942>fill the niche of a lever actionHow many load by stripper clip? I can think of 1, and it wasn't for sale in the US.
>>64286942Nah
>>64286689>500yd varmint cum DMR rifle with a light, low to medium power optic in a NATO caliber which is passable as a hunting rifle in a 2A abrogating litigious environment
>>64286946Lets get you to bed, gramps
Give me a scout rifle that actually takes stripper clips (and with a bayonet lug preferably). We will need them in europe soon enough.
>>64286836You'd have to be alot older than 35 to remember that shit. Im 37 and I barely remember the awb sunsetting.
>>64286836Why would you buy a bolt action turd when you could get 5 preban 30rd mags for $150 and a post ban HBAR that's indistinguishable from a preban minus a flash hider?Scout rifles were a fudd meme.
>>64287449Bolt actions are fun. Autoloaders just don't do it for me, and there's no good reason to have it for a woods gun desu
>>64286836And now 10-round AICS mags for a scout rifle are $50.
>>64286836I still don't get it. I'm 32. So the scout rifle was a cope stick?
Comfy boomstick that makes grug an apex predator anywhere on earth.I think it was designed more with African tour guides in mind though. I bet we could make some sick semi-auto SBR scout rifles today and not breech the weight limit of the original requirements. In essence it’s a small and light, high power-to-weight gun with an unusual optic solution. Like 3000ft*lbs from a <6lb gun, and a 3-5x optic.
>>64288582you might just be stupid
>>64288455>AICSWas always over priced. Non issue. Buy a Mossberg MVP, but the cartridge sucks for real game.
>>64289333The mossberg is very cheap and that's about all you can say about it. Aics mags are better for a few reasons, the price just sucks. I only need a few resply so it doesn't bother me, but if you aren't a reloader then you're basically paying extra for nothing
>>64289418>Aics mags are better for a few reasons, the price just sucks.It was Ruger's questionalble decision to go with AICS in the first place. Upon release of the GSR HK91 mags were ~$6/ea or less. Now around $10/ and up. They wanted repeatable dimensions and quality control, this makes sense, but comes with a price.
>>64287684So you admit I'm right and and ar-15, even during the awb, makes the most sense. Gotcha.
>>64289563>it's important to me to win anonymously on the internet
A waste of time
>>64289563>the most senseThe most sense for what? What imaginary scenario are you conconcting in you're emotional generator that only an ar15 could have been useful for
>>64287152Streyr Mannlicher M95. Cheap milsurp with bayonet lug and en block clip (close enough ?). There is an US made scout scope mount. Put on a burris 2-7 and then you have a €1000 stylish rifle completely not cheap anymore (ammo is a pain to get)
>>64287012>500yd varmint cumOwO what's this!?!?
>>64287152nazis already did it
>>64295973A "scout rifle" is about more than just mounting a scope backwards in front of the action.
>>64296007The rifle pictures weighs 9LB so is disqualified from being a Scout Rifle anyway.Most of Cooper's requirements were good, the length and weight limits for sure. Some of them aren't relevant now since tech has gotten better, backup irons and a forward mounted scope are two of those. The specific calibers he named are fine but bullet tech has gotten so much better it opens up new options. Especially in a short barrel.kpraxa
>>64296112ironically my literal steyr scout build comes out at 9 pounds so i disqualified it from its own thing
>>64291410>>64295973*in a calibre less than 100 years old and with a magazine capacity higher than fucking five
>>64296007no its not lol. LER scopes are 100% of what a scout rifle is. anything else you say is autistic malding
>>64296175just get an ar15
>>64296125>drop 1100 on a scout>throw a fucking burris on it with amazon rings
>>64286836Pretty much everything you just said is happening to canada
>>64296180>hur dur, it's just a funny scopeNo, there is a weight requirement and myriad other details that I'm sure are beyond you. It's a concept, a philosophy if you will. There is a Zen like peace o mind associated with a proper sout rifle. But you also have to be fit, more than that, a true Renaissance Man that The Colonel would approve of. You just don't get it and you will never cut it. So of course you are willfully resistant. Sad, really. I pity you.
>>64296185well theyre weaver rings because the gen 1 scout uses weaver rails instead of picatinny as for the burris rt6 its definitely budget but i dont particularly like lpvos and i dont see the value in paying thousands for something betteri put an lpvo on this because long eye relief is crap and since i was nullifying the use of iron sights i better have some kind of 1x
>>64296218>No, there is a weight requirement and myriad other details that I'msnoring irl. nerd alert.
scout rifle
>>64286929Why does he always look equally confused and constipated
