Nevertheless requires a stripper clip help guide to top off/recharge the magazine. It was one of many good good reasons for the forward mounted range.
Regrettably they don’t cause them to become like this anymore, maybe perhaps not until you grab a vintage surplus rifle that is military. My Norinco M14, with 18.5″ barrel and stock that is synthetic probably a bit hefty when it comes to Scout concept, along with being semi-auto, but i actually do such as the method I am able to simply slip bullets in using the stripper clips.
It makes use of removable package mags so that it kind of cancels out of the importance of stripper clips. In addition wouldn’t make use of these mags within the beginning as they’re single-stack and require you to definitely depress the follower into the front side then slide the round rearwards underneath the feed lips. Double stack mags have actually the benefit of more convenience of an offered mag size but making use of the stack that is single permits the managed round feed action and usually a slimmer receiver and more direct-into-the-chamber feeding and such.
Cooper spec’ed scouts that are several many years. Am in Africa with my RGS, Timney trigger, XS train, Leupold 1.5-5x Firedot…longest shot was 475 yards for a black colored wildebeest…closest, 125 yards, for a zebra who had been hammered by an individual Hornady 178-gr ELD-X. Nailed a warthog that is big complete out at 100 yards.
And yes, we have first class video for SHOOTING GALLERY next period.
BTW, damn site lighter compared to rifle that is last carried into the black Continent! Been through 2 classes it’s the rifle that stays in my office with it, red stag in NZ, and.
Michael, i do believe thats the most useful review of a RGS (or any scout) I’ve ever read.
And just what Cooper meant it for. Individuals within the industry needing a practical, dependable and capable rifle that takes many any game out they come across
Badass! So yours does not balk during the ELDs?
This will be a helpful package, being left-handed, once I made a decision to get yourself a scout rifle (more or less two decades ago) left-handed bolt actions had been costly, therefore I built a Winchester model 88 in 308 , Boyds laminate stock, 2×7 scope on fast release mounts. I personally use this as my main searching rifle for the Coast range. Frequently with iron places, we seldom utilize the optic. Utilizing the scope off a bench I am able to get yourself a .75″ teams with Federal fusion. 150gr.
This seems like an excellent rifle but I’m wondering what it gives over something such as a Savage lightweight hunter weighing 5.6lbs (without range) that can has a barrel that is 20. I could know how having 4″ less barrel helps make the Ruger handier, it is that compromised by the higher fat?
It does not actually provide anything; the scout rifle concept has just about been eclipsed by more contemporary material.
Perhaps they are able to toss into the banana slicer and lose the flash hider to save lots of some fat i simply couldn’t resist …. sorry

No likey? At the least three of this photos aren’t HDR 🉠…but we have to impress to your Millenials, too!
A few records:
– It does work that the initial Cooper Scout “spec” called for a rifle become 3kg in fat (6.6 lbs), but this is calm upwards to 3.5kg (7.7 lbs) for bigger bore rifles (eg, the .35 Whelens, 9.3’s, etc)
– The Ruger type of the Scout does meet with the spec, in the event that you obtain the stock that is composite. The stock that is laminate more. You can eradicate some fat off this rifle having a stock that is different some alterations in the steel work. Including, why have flash or brake hider? Hollow out the bolt handle, earn some lightening cuts from the receiver, flute the barrel. It could be done. I’m not too certain as it is that i’d get all that hung up on meeting the weight “spec” such. A rifle under 7.5 lbs is a “light” rifle in a full power cartridge for many shooters. You back about five to six times the cost of this entire rifle if you really wanted to lighten a rifle, and cost were no object, I’d start with a titanium Mauser 98 clone action – which should set.
