so what is the point of this gun? what seperates it from the cheaper bolt action and "scout" rifles?

i held one earlier today and I'm thinking about buying one if i can get it for $1,500 ish.
>>
Memes. That's literally it. The fucking Ruger GSR is a better buy, and that's already overpriced for the features, package and accuracy.
>>
>>32570844
none. any decent modern bolt action should hold 1MOA and 5 rounds.

"Scout" rifles are a meme that belongs in the 1920s.
>>
>>32570844
Yeah don't buy one.
You'd be infinitely more happier with something like a howa mini action with a 16" barrel and a *real* scope.
Seriously you can spend that $1500 on a rifle & scope that's much more capable.
>>
OP here, should I just try to find a Savage 110 in 338 Lapua?

i want a bolt action, but something that I could but in a modular chassis

i know the scout cant be put in a chassis but it was somewhat cool.
>>
>>32570844
Jeff faggot Cooper memed them into it.
>>
>>32570844
you run faster if you hold it
>>
>>32570854
can confirm, the GSR is great to own, and probably still the best choice of the "scout" rifles. it memes the least hard, it's just a good cheap utility .308 and only needs one tiny shim to mount a suppressor on it properly.

>>32571088
338 is pretty expensive, but if it's what you want, get it. get a savage stealth
>>
>>32571672
Whats better about the steath vs a 110?
>>
>>32570844
It's cheaper than the AWP so you can buy it on an eco round, and it's accurate while jumping.
>>
>>32571701
Stealth*
>>
>>32571701
cooler name
>>
>so what is the point of this gun?
Cash-in on the whole "scout" ride, which has kinda run its course and is being kept alive by marketing and some ardent Cooperphile holdouts. Still a solid(ish) idea that produces solid rifles, just rather superfluous in this day and age.
>what seperates it from the cheaper bolt action and "scout" rifles?
CS memery and a pricetag that's kinda laughable. If you simply must have a scout, get one of Ruger's offerings. They at least understood that Cooper wanted the rifle to be rather affordable as well.
>>
>>32570844
Ruger American is lighter, cheaper and actually full size.
>>
>>32571832
>>32571313
>>32570854

so is the ruger GSR or Ruger American series the better "scout rifle"?
>>
>>32570854
Couldn't be more wrong. Go use a real scout, then get back to us. They are the apex of comfy
rifles. Easy to carry, mount, aim , pull trigger.
Go find Coopers Commentaries for his thoughts on whats important in an all around hunting/stalking rifle. If you keep an open mind, you may learn something.

Before browsing this board, one must realize that 99% of the posters have *no* money.

Things like "reliability", a "good" warranty, and "fit and finish" all cost money. To someone with money, that is understandable and fits into a purchasing matrix.

To the average poster, they are unattainable and therefore must be made fun of, in order to validate the poster's parasitic existence and quality of "firearm" available to them.

So, any purchase must be considered as a matter of scale. To someone with a job, 1500 dollars is a fair price for a semi-custom, reliable, rifle from a quality company that takes care of its customers.

To the average poster, it's a "meme."

The point of that specific gun is to reduce worries of the purchaser, and to be accurate out of the box without added cost.

You know the name and it was in a video game that you used to play.

>>32574505

OP here
i never played CSGO
>>
>>32573905
>acting like $1500 is anything close to being some sort of prohibitive pricewall
Stop projecting, I don't know how many posters here have optics that run more than that by themselves. You're just better off getting a Ruger.
>>
just looked at gunbroker prices, if i can get one for $1200 out the door, ill pick one up.

one thing i like about the steyr is theres a section of rail that allows me to mount the scope in the conventional location along with scout.
>>
>>32570844
>so what is the point of this gun
there isn't one. it's an irl meme
