Rem 700 Scout Rifle?

[JaneDoe]

I've been thinking of getting a "scout" rifle based loosely on Jeff Cooper's ideas of what this should be but am not sold on Ruger's or Steyr's rifles.

Has anyone built one on a Remington 700 action?

What did you use for iron sights and scope base?

You may want to take a look over at ScoutRifle.org
There are a number of guns built off of 700s in the discussion forums.

Check out Grizzly Custom rifles, they have some great examples of high end scout type rifles. I do not have any solid info but, it would make a lot of sales for Rem. to produce a scout rifle this year.
