                The grammar nazis are consciously or not rooting out shills and other imposters however they ought to be focusing less on comate and more on idioms i.e. phrases and sayings that do not translate directly and often get jumbled by online translators.

      I'm not suggesting a modern buyer gets a No.5 instead of a Ruger Scout, I'm saying that when you compare the two it's interesting how many features Cooper wanted that were on the Jungle Carbine and I wonder if he might have had one in his own collection. Note the word "MODERNIZED" in the OP

      • 1 year ago

        one of the main features that got lost with most modern Scout rifles is the "lightweight" element; The Ruger M77 Scout is about 8lbs. Those Jungle Carbines are probably more tho.

        He wanted it chambered in God's caliber too, not homosexualy old blimey .303. Other than those guns being bolt action carbines they didn't really meet all the specs.

          7lbs 1oz. The Brits didn't frick around with their lightening cuts - but what that figure doesn't tell you that is IMMEDIATELY obvious when you pick one up is the change to the balance of the rifle - they are incredibly well balanced and "pointable."

      According to Cooper himself it was a safari rifle project.
      Dusty and dry savanna messes with repeaters and reduces you to either break or bolt action.
      Its simply a question on which side of the isle you fall when it comes to weight, accuracy and cost i.e. bolt vs quick follow up shots and separate mechanism in case of a malfunction with the combination rifles.
      Cooper was essentially trying to get manufacturing to design his dream rifle in exchange for hyped up marketing.

      I liked scout rifles because they will soon ban semi autos in europe and at least we can probably still have "high" cap bolt actions for a few more years before everything is banned.

      Bolt actions are ideal suppressor hosts.

      This is the conclusion I came to years ago. The modern iteration of a Scout rifle is basically any modern carbine. People who mess with Scout rifles seem to be just the people who are in band states. They're really not the right tool for any job. They're the right tool for a fantasy that doesn't exist. Hell, battle rifles are more versatile than a scout rifle.

        Scout rifles want to be multi taskers, and while they can serve in that fashion, like any multi tasker, they aren't optimized for any one particular task. What they do excel at, though, is providing a decent platform for people who live in polities where a more modern, semi-automatic carbine is either no longer possible or becoming increasingly difficult.

          The LPVO also killed the long focal plane 2-7 optic. That said, if you made it even lighter (4lbs with optic), chambered it 5.56 if could be a very compelling survival rifle.

            Yeah, I think SR discussion gets bogged down when people get too tied to Coopers methods of achieving his intent. Cooper was a product of his time, and while I think the SR is a good concept for a general purpose rifle, he wasn't aware, couldn't be aware of, the technology available to the contemporary shooter. As such, it only makes sense to evolve the SR in line with his intent rather than the method with which he met that intent.

I mean an actual good rifle, a Mauser 98 Type Rifle, a K11 or K31, Enfield etc. They are built like absolute tanks, are highly accurate, great irons, use stripper clips (Mauser and K11 Clips are actually faster than mag change, i fricking timed it) and are all faster cause of the action made for fast cycling. My K11 beats any Ruger Scout Rifle in quick handling, rate of fire, accuracy and reload speed and it can mount a fricking bayonet, its also not built for actual combat and not in the age of "bro if it breaks just return it, ThEy hAVe GReat CusToMEr SErvIce".

            maybe thats because of where i live, but i have never had any problems with rust or a swelling stock. If you live in like fricking florida or something or close to saltwater, then yeah, those new materials offer better protection. About 7,5x55, GP11 is a match load, although i have to say i dont really shoot for accuracy. I can hit my target with these rifles as long as i can see it, thats enough for me, im not skilled enough to be a sniper. But you can load 7,5x55 with hunting rounds as well, lots of them here and they hit harder than 308 when loaded got. Also i legit dont care about free floating. The aluminium ring makes it so the stock doesnt touch the barrel, nothing more. You dont need a free floated handguard for accurate shooting if you are not doing high precision shooting, then its an advantage. Also i have only heard good things about the scope mounts, but i dont like scopes anyway

            Its no surprise that someone raised on plastic feeding bottles would be a Tless cretin who rejects the superior aesthetic of glow in the noit vision wood and stamped manliness so edgy you cut yourself already on it.

        >A scout rifle is not a combat rifle. Its a planes game hunting rifle.

        Someone said the scout rifle concept was a pistol shooter's idea of a rifle and that's so accurate. A true scout rifle is a lightweight hunting rifle, the kind that elk hunters take high into the mountains. If you want a semi-auto in a rifle cartridge, go for it. The whole concept seems much more like a way to skirt gun control laws instead of something maximally efficient.

      Are you going to drill and tap your K11 for a scope or rail? Because the modern scout rifle is already set up for that. K11s and K31s are great guns. I have them. They aren't sub MOA though and neither is that Ruger or equivalent. There isn't a whole lot of real world practical difference between a 2 and 3 MOA gun like there would be between a sub MOA and 3 MOA gun so accuracy isn't quite as big of a deal here. You gets points for build quality however if a part breaks (everything made by man breaks eventually), you're going to have a tougher time finding replacement parts for the surp than you will the current production gun.

        GP11 is the secret sauce to the 96/11/31 series. match grade, lubricated ammo made to swiss standards is something to behold.

          Yeah and guess what we're beginning to run out of. Swiss don't make it anymore. Even with gp11, they're about 2 MOA. Maybe can cherry pick a 1 MOA grouping at 100 with enough time and ammo. They are laser pointers relatively speaking to other surps but even still lacking when compared to modern rifles.

            Actually they do, they still use it in machine guns and they still do production runs with spillover to supply the club matches every weekend that reservists - ie, just about every Swiss male - go and shoot each Saturday morning in the shooting range that basically every Swiss village has

        there is a swiss scope mount without drilling or tapping. Its put in place with the two forward takedown screws on the bottom and is secure, pretty cool. But no, i like shooting irons and dont wanna ruin the aesthetic. Also i kinda disagree about the parts, im basically sitting at the source and i can get any part for a few bucks, with these new rifles you often have to send a mail to the manufacturer and have to wait for the part to arrive

      >superior to a fricking surp Bolt Action?

      most surplus boltguns are quite heavy and also are generally inferior to modern bolt guns. just because they have SOVL doesn't mean a ruger american wont wipe the floor with them.

        yes they are "heavy", but they are perfectly balanced. My FN Model 1950 is so balanced that you dont even feel any weight while pointing it. Also they have a much faster rate of fire due to the bolt design and are built much stronger and robust. I will take a match against a Ruger American with my K11 OR Model1950 any day and i will win. Also good stripper clips are faster than mag changes and there are 12 rounds mags for K11 and K31

            They are not that heavy though. They are like 3,8 kg, if you cant carry that on your back all day the problem is with you. I carried sticks that were heavier, its not like they wear 5 or 6 kg

              Just because you CAN does not mean you should. You are also carry more than just a rifle in the field. Saving a few pounds or having an optic are huge benefits. Weapon weight also becomes a huge factor when you are holding the gun in the low ready for a long duration.

        Seriously, they are fast as frick. You put it in, strip them off, close the bolt. With a mag change you have to take out mag, put new mag in, cycle bolt. Also Stripper clips are far lighter and smaller. When you go "high capacity" like 30 rounds its faster to change a mag since you would have to load like 5 Stripper clips, but when talking about 5-10 rounds, stripper clips are faster

          I just keep the bolt open in both cases... Am I moronic? Even though I bought smelly clips, for the life of me I can't seem to smoothly feed them, so I don't know if I bought wrong ones for my Aussie MkIII(I think?), if they/the gun need cleaning, or I just suck, OR, magazines are just the superior option all around.
          Regardless, I respect people that can run the old bolt guns fast, I'm too much of a zoomer apparently, and I was born in 1994 :/

            smelly clips are notoriously shit, much like british sexuality and their teeth they just cant make something straight work. Mauser Clips are far better, and K11/K31 Clips are just amazing. BTW, what kind of smelly do you have, thinking of getting one myself next. If you wanna run a bolt gun fast without much training or bullshit buy a swiss straight pull, just back and forth

              Picrel. Ignore the mess, I'm cleaning the basement and getting ready to reenamel some stuff, but, anyways, I think it's an Aussie Mk.III of some description. I like it, even if it's all beat up. Gives it "character" and all that.
              I was actually thinking of getting a straight-pull at some point, and almost did buy one last year, I think it was a K31 funnily enough, but I think it was mislabeled because the tag said "6.5mm" but when I looked at the markings, it was clearly a .30 cal of some sort, so I kinda just scoffed at it for not being what I thought. I went back to that same place recently and the price jumped, so frick me I guess.

                Thats a really nice rifle anon, congratualtions! As for the swiss, either get an K31 or K11. K31 has stronger action and more aftermarket accessoires, but the K11 is smoother and technically only the K11 is an "Schmidr Rubin" Rifle. Both shoot 7,5x55 Swiss, if you see them in another Caliber be wary, the swiss never chambered them in anything else so conversions are done by bubba and his hacksaw. Also they all have superb triggers, 1500 grams of resistance and smooth as frick. Just excellent craftmansship, dont know how much they cost where you are but here they go for 200 for an K11 in mint condition

      milsurp is history and something completely different from modern guns. With milsurp you get a piece of history, a true weapon of war from all around the world, all completely different and every single piece unique with its own marks, bruises and stories. Milsurp is not just about shooting really cool guns, its about history, about all the mechanical features and the development, different doctrines that went into the making of these guns. Milsurps truly do have a soul, they are treasures and something you gift to your children and their children. My 91 year old K11 will last, it will outrun your utility rifles and one day in the future my grand-grand-children will shoot some fricking deer with it and because thats what milsurp is about

          I just need the 2nd front barrel band, which is exclusive to the MkV, so I’ve pretty much given up on that. Luckily it isn’t integral. Maybe one day I’ll come across one or have one fabricated. I have all the other parts, but I’ve had issues with getting the stock fit correctly and it frustrated me so I put everything in my closet and will have another go at it sometime later, probably after I buy a house and actually have a dedicated workshop. I suspect the new stock wasn’t made correctly or something, there’s too much of a gap between the handguard and the rest of the stock. I probably should’ve just spent the extra money and bought an intact one. I thought this would be a lot easier to restore.
          I’d post more pics but they’re on my phone, and someone that apparently shares my IP address when phoneposting got banned on /jp/ for spamming BBC.

              The battle sight is pretty cool and unique looking. The sight picture is basically the same as a P14 or 1917 when it’s flipped up though. It’s basically the same rear sight piece, in fact I needed to replace the spring in the sliding adjustment piece and I just used one that was for an m1917.
