---it seems like it would be a great all around piece to fill the niche----for some reason a number of Jeff's "spin offs" haven't gotten on the Scout rifle bandwagon, especially Clint Smith, Chuck Taylor or Ken Hackathorn. TAK, you seem to follow Awerbuck pretty closely, what's his take on the Scout??
