Just picked up a Cross a few days ago. The weight alone has made it my favorite rifle I own. Great video, thanks.

Well said on the Steyr, stock ergos are fantastic for me, trigger is great, the bipod is handy since there are few trees where I occasionally traipse to lean a rifle against, the optics mounting rail gives enough options for types of optics and balance point. The one slight neg is one of my mags requires a vigorous bolt cycling to be 100% reliable at feeding.

I’d love a Steyr scout.

The new one has a couple of real upgrades. An actual Picatinny trail and threading on the barrel that doesn’t require an adapter are big improvements

Good video, keep up the good work.

I just picked up a steyr pro hunter III, I hope I like it. I still want to get a scout some day, though.

Excellent observations Steve.

Another great video, I love my Scout .223! I noticed you have two butt pad extensions removed. I'm 5'9" and find the overal length of pull with all pads mounted a bit short, especially when I'm switching between other rifles. But you are right, the stock just jumps into place! Also, I've found that I can easily load 2 rounds straight into the magazine from the ejection port! I wouldn't want an AICS mag in the Scout for the life of me.

[@cliffy109]

Try running without them. It makes a big difference. During a scout rifle class, we had a guy 6’2” who removed them and never looked back. The only time you need them is if you’re doing a lot of work from prone.

[@Invictus2189]

@@cliffy109 Thank you! I will give it a try.

The closest thing to a scout i have is a Ruger Frontier with a forward mounted Leupold ier scope. The rifle is lightweight and easy to cary with one hand around the receiver like an old Winchester 94.

[@cliffy109]

That’s a nice rifle.

[@RickNethery]

@cliffy109 Thanks Brother

The biggest draw back for the Steyr scout rifle and other scout platforms run with a forward optic is that only all of those long eye relief optics available are all two or three generations of tech behind. The rifle itself is fine!

[@cliffy109]

Agreed. Note the scope on this one is no longer available. Were I outfitting one today, it would wear an LPVO.
