I forgot to remember to forget

I wonder how much Steyr paid him.

>>34293278
I think he is starting a series on scout rifles like he did with Winchester levers,this just grabbed his attention.

I don't care if you noguns faggots call scout rifles meme guns. I want one of these so bad.

>>34293300
Double dubs

>>34293278
Is it true Jeff Cooper had to be removed from Steyr's headquarters whilst in a drunken rant about his scout rifle concept?

>>34293926
God I hope so.

>>34293300
the only reason anyone remembers it is counterstrike. the age of cs is over.

>2000 USD for a 2 MOA bolt gun in a Zytel stock

>>34293980
Don't underestimate the buying power of gamers who will only ever shoot at a range.

The ideal gun for low gravity duels

>>34293300
My favorite episodes of his are the not forgotten but the "misunderstood" ones that get a certain perception from Vidya or movies

>>34293706
They don't play that game

>>34293278
I got to see one in a gun store's rack once. That bipod didn't strike me as being very sturdy or up for rough use. Which is what you'd expect for a gun commanding the price a Scout does.

>>34293980
2 MOA was considered pretty good in the 80's.
But yes, it's a highly overpriced rifle by modern standards.

>>34294205
It predates Counter Strike by like 15 or so years.

>>2 MOA was considered pretty good in the 80's.
What the fuck were they doing wrong?

>>34293980
>>34294205
It's not a long range precision rifle.

>>34293966
more like the age of the scout in cs is over
i'm still kind of salty over guns getting replaced for new guns

>>34294743
the fact that it's a BOLT ACTION 556 when bolt action 308 exists

and the other fact that semi auto 556s have almost the same accuracy.

>>34293278
I want a steyr scout so bad

>>34294845
That doesn't address my question. What the hell were manufacturers doing in the 80s that made 2MOA from a bolt action seem good?

>>34294930
not the guy you were talking to, but no 2MOA bolties are not good even by 80's standards

the steyr SGG 69 is a 308 bolt action that has less than 0.5 MOA and it was released in the 70's

it blows the scout out of the water.

Compared to the AWP it is

>>34293879
Well, they are somewhat outdated but who cares, they look cool as fuck and for the purposes of lugging one around Alaskan bush and the swamp underneath it it's a fine gun for that.

>>34294845

All the cool ass niggas got it in .376 Steyr.

>>34293926

Cooper was quite an asshole and embellisher his entire career.

I've got some older (like 1970's) police magazines and books that have things about Cooper in them. He gets a lot more fucking credit than he deserves.

>>34297881

A lot of those old time gun writers were it seems. Some of what they had to say was straight up impossible or clearly bullshit but everyone was too in awe of their legend to speak up.

I laughed so hard, but yes, me too.

Mein negger. Pretty obscure mma reference. Modern mma fans won't get it, even less /k/tards

>>34299240
CoD is failing it seems
Arena FPS is probably making a comeback
