Historical profile
Developed in direct collaboration with Col. Jeff Cooper and introduced in 1998 as the commercial embodiment of the Scout Rifle concept.
It integrates a folding bipod, a spare magazine stored in the stock and a forward Picatinny rail for a long-eye-relief optic.
Chambered primarily in .308 Winchester, it is appreciated both as a hunting rifle and as a general-purpose rifle by police units and military marksmen.
