The "Scout Rifle"--a concept with its place, if you can understand it.

-


"Gun Jesus" does a good discussion of this particular model, but misses or brushes by the key to understanding the "scout rifle" concept. It's not being a mountain man with a 20/21-century rifle. It's being a SCOUT--a sole individual in a somewhat hostile rural environment (think, maybe, the French countryside in "Saving Private Ryan") on a mission that is NOT actively/intentionally engaging enemy forces (usually, though there will be times), but which might have some engagement arise. Recognizing the reality that even with more AW-type arms you would in a standup engagement with several enemy probably lose. the costs of AW-type arms--weight of mags and ammo, maintenance, reliability issues, etc.--outweigh the net benefits, making a manual-action arm like this both appealing and effective, It's for mission-oriented survival.
