Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Cooper’s scout concept

One of the reasons for the forward mounted scope was to have it out of the way for quick reloading of the rifle with the use of stripper clips.

IMO, the quick change mag systems available now eliminate that need. And few or no actions are cut with a clip guide these days anyway. Stick with a low power, or variable with a low power bottom end & a conventional mounted scope is plenty fast.
