Picked up a Scout V2 back in Feb. and it's great. Was able to get one in 444 Marlin 'cause I wanted a thumper for woods hunting. IMR- 4198 and most any bullet I've tried are great combos. If the 444 wasn't available I probably would have went the 35 Whelen route. Sweet shooter with a sweet trigger although I haven't had my Lyman digital trigger gauge on it yet, (I keep forgetting). Boyd's gunstocks recently introduced laminated thumbhole stocks for these and that may be the next step for me.
