Ok so to put it in the most basic terms this is what the concept of the rifle comes from. In one of coopers writings after he describles the specifications of the scout rifle he goes on to say something to this effect. A scout rifle is a rifle that should be versitle enough to handle any chore a rifle might be called to do, Be light and compact enough to be on hand when said chore arises. It also should be as accurate as a shooter can comfortably fire I bacically want to build a rifle that would be appropriate for everything from a gunfight to dropping a buck to plinking to a shtf rifle. h

I joined today because ive been kicking around a concept for a few days and figured here would be the best place to get opinions and refences.

In reading col coopers articles i found the requirements for the true scout rifle and realized that it didnt just apply to bolt rifles, now im an ak fan boy so i thought immediately "holy crap i could use a SAIGA!!!" . Now i know the saiga comes with a side rail and technically by deffinition a lower power conventionally mounted scope st
