Tacticool lever rifle. Kind of overkill when most situations occur at distances of less than 15 feet.

If you’re gonna call it a Scout, it better be in a heavier centerfire round than .223, preferably .308 (Or Jeff Cooper will spin in his grave).
What this admittedly wonderful rifle is, is a good “truck gun,” suitable for varmints or self defense, but not a one-gun setup for every need, as it is too small for deer or larger game.

Model 82 BLR in.308.
The leather wrap on the lever is a good idea. The action is stiff because of the rack and pinion design and the way the bolt locking lugs engage. Not really a fast action, and it does work on the back of your fingers. Gloves help, of course.
Sweet little rifle, though.

I picked up a BLR in .30-06 last year. While it’s not a takedown model it certainly handles quickly and puts hits on target. It’s not a Model 94, but it gives you a lot more options with ammo selection than the .30-30. So far I’ve worked it out as far as 300 yards but it feels like it could stretch to twice that. Maybe I’ll find out in Colorado next month.
