First off let me say that I am familiar with the scout concept, what I want to hear is your thoughts on the idea. I have seen some of you comment, bolth pro and con, on the scout concept but all have been without substance. By that I am saying that your comments express your opinion but fail to give your reasons. For those of you not familiar with the idea a scout rifle is a short (39" or less), light (about 6.5 lbs or less), rifle capable of taking medium game out to moderate ranges (300 yards). It has generally come to include a foreward mounted scope (as it is faster) and a three point sling mount for the Ching sling (for fast hasty support). I am not so much interested in your opinions, but your reasons for your opinions. I have toyed with the idea of building one but I havent decided yet if it is worth the effort.
