And then back a bit there was the ‘scout rifle’;)
Yea werent they a short rifle large mag capacity mil rifle desighned by some cournel or something
@Kelton good to hear you're enjoying the 150gr lrab. I gave the 150gr ELDX a crack today. 7 Shot a ladder over 3gr powder at 0.5gr increments to get approx velocities and the whole ladder grouped under an inch with good velocity. I suspect when I choose a single powder charge the group should be at least as small as the 7 shot ladder. The LRAB is next on my list to try - might flick you a PM to see how you're going with it.Quote:

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?Quote:

yes bush pigs needs to disappear stupid term - much earlier rifles got the description stalking rifles or mountain rifles meaning a rifle that was lighter designed to carry all day - was carbine not for a saddle rifle carried by cavalry short and handy
+1
I don't really agree with the term either, but I think the thing that distinguishes them from previously known iterations, is their suppressor that is almost touching the forend. Not common in the US.Quote:

No wonder they’re not common when you realise the rigmarole to legally own one.
Yea same as aussie. Youd think it would fall under some kind of h&s bs
Same setup but aimpoint red dot fitted that can be swapped out with qd rings on a swaro 3-9 #4 reticle scope for low light and longer range shots.Quote:

Good pointQuote:

Super light trigger 2pds factory can be adjusted less. being light and short she bucks good but manage to get quick followups when required. I love it and highly recommend.
To which i also shoot in my Saum both excellent projectiles so off ya tot mateQuote:

What they do seem to do differently is that " over barrel " suppressors don't seem to be the norm .
So barrel length is a hot topic over there when you consider the overall length of a Rifle with a forward mounted Suppressor can get a bit unwieldy
A 20 inch barrel with a 9 inch suppressor hanging off the front is a very long Rifle :D
Depends how much you want to spend, I use a ruger ranch in 7.62x39 for the bush, 16in barrel dpt suppressor and a cheap 3-9x40 scope. Probs cost me 1600 bucks all up, ammo is plentiful and cheap and gets the job done out to 150 or so metres
