The Mighty Lemming Scout!

Art,

Continuing on your comments about quick acquistion. Do you think it (the scout) is really better then a good open peep sight? I mainly shoot M1A's and have always found the peeps to be very quick. I have only handled the "scout" in a store but I found it un-weildy at best.

I do agree, it is amazing that he could get it made, and others would buy it, then have full conventions with them.

I guess I just "don't get it".
 
"RESPONSIBLE"? Me? Maybe in the next life...:D

Peter, it's been so long since I used iron sights, I just don't remember. :)

Just guessing, I'd think that *acquisition* might be faster with the low-power, forward-mounted scope than with iron sights, just because of the milli-seconds it takes for *alignment* of the two iron sights. Dunno, really.

Get two proficient shooters, and let'em compete?

This thread needs an update. Any of you folks actually build your Lemmings yet?

We need pix, range reports, and a rodent body count...
 
No, but every once in a while I take out my K-22 and pretend it is a short rifle with forward mounted scope and a brown sling. It makes a pretty good Lemming Scout when you hold it at arms length and align the adjustable sights.
 
Mighty Lemming Scout Rifle - No problem

Note others suggested something other the a bolt action, so I'll
take the liberty of doing so.

Purchased a Taurus Model 62 - 22 LR pump action carbine in stainless steel back in Feb.-2001. It is a copy of the old Winchester Model 62 with a funky safety added to defeat bottom feeding lawyers.

The Taurus Model 62, like the original Winchester design, can only be fitted with a long eye relief scope over the barrel. Therefore we would have a Mighty Lemming Scout Carbine with the simple addition of a proper scope on the barrel.

Other features of this Mighty Lemming include the short 18" barrel and simple take-down for portability via larger receiver screw. Furthermore, the stainless steel construction is generally impervious to corrosive elements, making it a great little rifle to leave in your car trunk or behind the seat of your "pickem-up" truck.

I've experienced no problems with my Taurus 62 and accuracy is far better than my "old-age" eyes can see. Therefore, I'm now looking for a "long-eye relief" scope to mount over the barrel. Any suggestions?
