The Mighty Lemming Scout!

George, if Texans dont tolerate having smartasses coming down, it must be because we don't like the competition.
 
George, you can't just sit there and take this ripoff of your idea. Go in and confront those Steyr executives, just like the immortal Cosmo Kramer did when Calvin Klein ripped of his "Beach" cologne idea! But your idea was .22lr, though.
 
Being that it would be a scout/utility style rifle, why not make it a true utility TOOL!
...Crown the muzzle deep enough to hold a masonary nail, get some nail gun loads at the hardware store, go down to your basement and start putting in some floor plates for the walls of your new GUN ROOM!-

When your done, go shoot some dinner ;)
 
CRITICAL UPDATE!

It contains graphed ballistic tables for all 1,207 commercially available .22LR loads. $49.95. Pre-orders accepted now. Once I get 100,000 advance orders, I can quit my day job and write it.

Everyone will want it. You just enter the distance to the target and the brand of ammo you're using, and it will give you hold-over data (necessary given .22lr trajectories).

For only $129.95 you can get the optional Interface kit which will interface with the new laser-rangefinder and the electrically-actuated-reticle scout scope which Steyr will someday build. Then you just set your ammo brand at the beginning of the hunt, set the laser rangefinder on the squirrel, and the scope will adjust the crosshairs to POI.

All the "cool" shooters will be using it. 12vbattery not included.
 
Heck, I suppressed my Lemming Scout. (I don't want anyone to know I am shooting it for fear of being laughed at). Works great on my chipmunks, especially those 60 grain Aguillas!
 
No cell phone? I thought you would need one to call for reinforcements, lemmings travel in large packs and could get mean after you run out of ammo.

Now, see... thats just a cheap knock off. The scope is not a long eye relief scope, the sling is not brown leather and the stock is just a nylon sock over a metal frame...
Tsk Tsk Tsk.
 
I just happened to be reading the specifications of the Steyr Aug yesterday and it occured to me that except for the caliber it fits in to the scout requirements.

-I.e it has a scope in front of the magazine - its a bullpup after all.
-The scope is a low power scope - 1.5X
-It weighs less than 8 pounds.
-While it doesn't have an inbuilt bipod, it does have that forward hand grip that can aid in stabalising the rifle.
-And if you use the grenade gas setting, you reduce it to a bolt action...

So it looks like Steyr have screwed you twice over George :p
 
"Make Room! Make Room!" :)

Got a Walther .22 semi-auto with the scope mounts set rather far forward. Have an old, long Weaver 2.5-8 on it, right now. Be easy enough to mount a long eye-relief scope on it.

Don't think I'm gonna cut the barrel back, though. It shoots all day long into one ragged hole at 40 yards. Don't wanna mess with it.

When you turn the bolt-handle down about 15 degrees, it locks and operates as a single-shot. It's certainly a candidate for a suppressor!

Aw, well. Whaddaya want from a 70-year old gun?

Ok, This has to be the most clever commentary on one man's tirade I have read in months.

I am glad to see that others think that the "scout" is a solution looking for a problem.
 
Peter, halfway seriously, I'd have to say that the Scout is not a "solution"; it's a perceived improvement of existing solutions.

What I think is the most fun about the whole deal is that one man got a large corporation to do what is necessary to produce one of the critters! And what's even funnier, to me, is that not only did they make it ugly, folks buy'em and pay double the money!

However, if you want a quick target acquisition for your first shot, they're hard to beat.

Alright George, you talked me into it...
I have pulled my pristine 77/22Mag out of the gunsafe, I have a hacksaw and a drill, I am going to hack, chop, grind, and otherwise mutilate an otherwise beautiful rifle to satisfy the seed you have planted in my gourd..Hehehehehehehehehehehehe.....
