I think the detractors of the Savage Scout are over blowing their concerns too. Mine is about to get a good spring workout since I located a better Scout Scope and picked up a pile of ammo cheap last week.
Ooo, you have one of those? I have lusted for one since they came out. How do you like it? Are they still available?
The closest things I have to a scout are a Winchester M70 Classic compact (that my wife stold), and a Kimber 84M classic. Both are nice, but they aren't scouts. The Winchester is the better balanced of the two because the barrel is a bit heavier than the Kimber. Kimbers are nice, but dang light in the muzzle.
