I've always liked the concept and Col. Jeff Cooper was a big proponent. So I was looking at Scout Rifles because, you know, guns, when I realized I already had one, my Gibbs #7 Jungle Carbine.
It's short & handy, holds ten rounds of .308 and has a slick action. (It's a 1962 Ishapore Mk. II & was manufactured in .308)
Because it's a repro of sorts, the rear sight is forward of the receiver on the barrel where it should be on a Scout.
Unfortunately I can't find a scope mount that will fit. At least not yet.
It's currently visiting Velzey for parkerizing and I redid the wood. I'm just waiting for it to come home at this point.
Anyway, post up pics of yours and give us the lowdown.
