NZ guns did an article on converting a sako into a Scout Rifle years ago. The main idea of the scout rifle is to be the most versatile rifle possible.

Some of the qualifications being Weight less than 3kg, Length less than 1 meter. Accuracy of more than 2moa, able to kill an animal of up to 1000kg at range which the user can shoot accurately. I think the large mag thing only started with the Ruger Gunsite Scouts.

Jeff Cooper was the man who got the concept going.

So an American invented the concept and now we have a Pom trying to tell us kiwis it was their idea?

Shit, that never happens
