Truthfully, it is possible that I may end up lugging this rifle around for extended time periods at some point, as Im planning to use this rifle in a civilian paramilitary role, among other things. So Im trying to lighten it.

The title speaks for itself. Id like to try the following for the Ruger GSR to make it lighter: flute the bolt, flute part or all of the barrel, remove the spacers to the shortest length, and make finger groves in the forestock. Is there anything else that can be done to lighten the rifle, and...

I'm planning to go to some scout courses at Sigma III Survival School in Arkansas, and one of the required items for a course is a precision rifle capable of a 700 yard shot, and another is for 1000 yards. I don't plan to take this rifle for the 1000yd course, but for all of the other courses...

Ill consider it, just like Im considering the BABR, but either probably needs modified to bring it into spec

That rifle is gorgeous. A couple questions: How long is it (both barrel and overall) and can the weight be brought down? Could the factory rail be removed and the rear bridge modified for stripper clips? Also, why do the BUIS look like they don't cowitness?

You may be missing the idea here. The idea is to translate the rifle as-defined by Cooper from the square range to the battlefield and see if it still works in a scout/sniper role.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. I agree the semi-auto would make things simpler, though.

Well, honestly the job in question is to test the scout rifle concept in a battlefield/combat scenario, rather than a hunting scenario. I'd like to see if it can accomplish a scout's role on the battlefield. To do so, it needs to be "by the book". I'd probably get both, but for the purposes of...

Im not sure if a semi-automatic rifle fits the Scout definition or not. The definition only says "individually operated" but doesn't specify a type of action per se.

I don't currently reload, but when I can afford quality equipment I plan to learn. Its something Ive wanted to learn for quite some time.

Is it still feasible with the 19" barrel? I specified 19" because the idea here is to build a scout-style rifle to the definition, which specifies a 19" barrel length, that doubles as a sniper rifle good to 700yds. But if its not possible, say so.

Basically Im trying to see what people's thoughts on the idea are. I saw the shorty rifles thread, but thought this should have its own thread since its not just about the barrel. The main question here is can this be done, and what will it take to do it?

Im looking at building a scout rifle with either a Remington 700 or a 7, but have a special requirement for it. It needs to shoot to 700 yards for a series of courses Id Like to go to. Ive pickee out glass for the rifle, as well as a scope mount and I have special plans for a flashhider. The...

Hey folks. Been lurking for a while and decided to finally sign up. Always been interested in distance shooting, though Im not that great at it. If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask.
