Easily available. Price is comparable to good quality 308 ammo with wolf about to blow open the plinking market with cheap Grendel ammo within the next couple months.

Eric...I'm sure you know this, but in case you don't...the forward optic allows you to keep both eyes open and see the field around your shot. It must be low powered therefore. It also allows you access to your action for "topping off"...another great feature. Also gives a great balanced carry point. As far as accuracy, mine is an easy moa weapon shooting from prone. Around 1/2 to 3/4' from the bench. Once my guns are sighted in, they never see the bench again unless there is a scope change,dropped or damaged, etc. I've never seen a fire fight or even a hunting scenario with a bench rest. 
Dr J...all I can say is good luck my friend....
Now I think I will ready a couple of flintlocks for an early morning black powder burn...good night all!

Good luck? Good luck with what? I have an AR in 6.5 Grendel and it will shoot just as accurately as your bolt gun. I have a 1-4x Trijicon on it, so I can shoot with both eyes open and the scope is not in my way for changing mags/adding ammo. It does everything a scout rifle does, only better.
With one small exception it does. A good bolt action--a Mauser action, say--will work anytime, any place. Dirt, sand, mud, ice, snow, lubed, bone dry--whatever, Peter Paul Mauser designed the '98 Mauser action to function in any battlefield environment imaginable, and it does. Mausers thrive in scenarios that would reduce your plastic and aluminum tinker toy to a piss poor club. That's why Cooper specified a bolt gun--he wanted something that would ALWAYS work.
Easy doc.....take a deep breath and relax...I'm not knocking you or your gun.
Your the one that insisted your semi was the much better gun...and I didn't argue!
I was simply saying how much I liked my scout and why.
Besides, if 20 Chi Coms come down my country drive way at once, I'll wish I had your gun!

Btw Erick....I really likes the looks of your mountain rifle....bet it is a fine shooter !
Meh, I think the scout rifle concept is interesting but I also think it's the solution to a problem that doesn't exist (for the majority of shooters), especially with an MSRP of over $1K....before adding glass.
But I still want one. LOL (I actually think I'd go with the MVP for magazine compatibility).

Thanks and hey, no worries. I just always like to inform people of what's out there. These semi auto AR's do things they aren't supposed to do, like shoot sub-MOA. I think a lot of people are still stuck in the mindset that Col Cooper had when he developed the scout rifle. Times have changed. Technology has changed.
My understanding is also that at the time he wrote his "scout rifle" concept, milsurp bolt rifles that ran stripper clips were abundant and cheap, and AR-15s were not.
