Between the bipod legs is a UIT rail for attachments, and the stock is outfitted with five press-and-twist sling-swivel attachment points that allow the addition of Cooper's favored Ching Sling on either side of the rifle. The compact design of the stock features an innovative integrated bipod that is hardly noticeable until it is folded out from the stock. With a fluted, cold-hammer-forged barrel measuring20 inches, an overall length of41 inches and an out-of-the-box weight of just6lbs 12oz, the Scout is a breeze to pack out on long adventures, patrolling the farm or taking a quick trip to the range. The rifle can also be fitted with a standard scope, should the need arise. Backup "ghost-ring" iron sights integrated to the top rail can be deployed within seconds should the optics fail. The lightweight bolt-action, all-purpose Steyr Scout rifle was designed to accept a low-powered, forward-mounted scope for accurate fire and both-eyes-open operation to detect flanking dangers.
