I suppose it wouldn’t be a scout rifle because of the calibre, but the rest of the recipe is there?

My apologies

I'm sure a true jeff cooper purist would have a list of reasons it isnt a "true scout rifle," but the only thing I think it's really lacking is a larger caliber, and maybe some magnification. A magnifier would go hard as fuck on this beauty

I have a magnifier, maybe I should put it on, I’m trying keep it light.

Edit: spelling
