It seems that the Steyr Scout is prone to soft strikes on primers. I have heard of and seen several cases of this recently.
The bipod also appears to be rather flimsy, and easily broken when the weapon is supported on it during prone firing.
I know of one recent case of this happening, and have heard of others.
I have also seen a meticulously maintained Scout that had less than 500 rounds through it which was evidencing galling on the aluminum receiver in the bolt channel.
Have any of you experienced similar problems?
