TFB Review: Steyr Scout 6.5 Creedmoor, Parts 1-3

[Talyn]

The Steyr Scout Rifle is a legend. Despite being introduced in the late 1990s, it still looks like a rifle from the future. But does it still make sense to own one now?

Stock looks a lot like the Magpul SGA

Magpul may have gotten their idea from the Scout.
