I've been looking to purchase a Steyr Scout, but also decided to give the Armalite AR10(T) topped with an Aimpoint Comp M a look also.
The Armalite weights only 3/4lbs more(minus Aimpoint)than the Scout, its auto-loading and approx the same lenght and in a .308.
To me, this seems to be what the Col. ordered, a light, quick target acquisition,quick re-loading, adequate powered,rifle.
The Armalite set-up compared to the Scout would also cost approx. $250 less.
I'm starting to lean toward the AR10(T)topped with an Aimpoint Comp.
