So.....
I'm looking for a light, fast to handle rifle. General purpose.
What is the advantage of the M1A or Steyr Scout over a Winchester model 92 or 94?
The M1a seems heavy at 9.5#'s. The Steyr seems to be a nice package. But why bother when you can get a lever action 92 0r 94?
I guess it could be said that the lever actions are the original "scout" type rifles.
I'm by no means highly informed on the subject so please enlighten me.
Thanks,
Martin
P.S. My only rifle at the moment is a Model 700 BDL in .308.
