Interested in learning about the scout rifle? There’s a new book out now that’ll definitely scratch that itch. It’s called “The Scout Rifle Study,” and it’s written by renowned gun/outdoor writer Richard Mann.
“The Scout Rifle Study” offers a comprehensive look at the history of the scout rifle and its place in the new millennium. The scout rifle is a general-purpose gun originally conceived, developed and promoted by the legendary Jeff Cooper back in the early 80s. Up until a few years ago, it had a fervent, cult-like following. Now, just as Cooper predicted, it’s starting to become the rifle of the 21st century.
“People are finally beginning to realize Cooper was mostly right; the simplest one-rifle solution for the world is a Scout Rifle,” Mann says.
