Steyr Arms has announced an extremely limited (300) commemorative package run of the Jeff Cooper Scout Rifle. Legendary small-arms expert, author and founder of what would later become the Gunsite Training Center, Lt. Col. (USMC Ret) John Dean “Jeff†Cooper (1920-2006), worked with Steyr throughout the 1990s to refine the Scout Rifle concept. The resulting rifle in .308 is based on the Steyr SBS action and fed by a 5-round detachable box magazine. Weighing in at less than 7 pounds the Scout Rifle also includes a long-eye-relief, forward mounted 2.5X Leupold scope and a multipurpose Ching Sling. In addition to an integrated bipod, the stock also holds an additional 5-round magazine. This limted edition package also features both hard and soft cases as well as a hardbound copy of Cooper’s seminal work, “Art Of The Rifle”.
