While it is true that the Scout Rifle is popular among the shooting press, it is far from the proven concept that this article suggests. There are several problems with this particular Wiki.
1. It fails to cite sources, and merely re-states popular opinion.
2. It looks more like and advertisement for Jeff Cooper than anything else
3. It fails to point out the problems of the Scout Rifle concepts such as low rate of fire, fragility of front mounted optics under harsh conditions..... and so forth.
4. The portion about shorter barrels being just as efficient due to faster burning modern powders is simply incorrect.

I could continue.... but I think I've made my point. From an encyclopedic viewpoint, this article is far below even Wiki standards.

Can we get a photo? I'd think a photo from someone that owns one wouldn't violate any copyright laws. [[User:210.79.184.101|210.79.184.101]] 13:31, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
