Howdy all.
This morning I removed the Rail from my Scout Rifle, as well as the Rear Site, and mounted a Scope. The Scope wouldn't fit with the Rail in place, otherwise I would've left it on. One thing I'm finding with this compact Bolt Action, is that like the AR, it is very adaptable.
In a few minutes one can have a traditional hunting rifle, Scout Rifle, Truck Gun, Sniper Rifle capable of accuracy beyond a lot of shooters (myself included), or any combination there of. This can truly be a one rifle for all task within the caliber's limitations. Since I'm focusing on longer shots, over 300 Yards at a minimum, I'm going with a more traditional set-up for the time being. Later, when i acquire another rifle in a suitable caliber, I'll go back to running a traditional Scout Rifle.
This rifle is sort of like a Lego Building Block for the Bolt Action guy or gal.
