I've always like the scout rifle concept, just too cheap to buy one! I have built a couple pseudo scouts over the years, just can't seem to hold into them!

First was an ishapore Enfield. Cut it down, XS scout rail with a flip up sight inlet into it, Alumahyded the metal and textured the wood. The cheek riser is part of the original fore end and was hinged to cover up spare ammo storage.

Later on was a '98 Mauser that had been rebarreled to .308. Had a great trigger on it. I coated the metal and painted the stock. Put the forward rail on it (it was a B-Square Colt revolver mount!). It shot very well but I got the Ith to build a .300 blackout boltgun so it got sold.
