Much like questioning Jeff Cooper’s life history when the topic is the relevance of Scout Rifles?

Which he says, along with saying it had an LER scope before.

$800-900 is a steal, whatever variation of P-210 it is. I don’t follow prices on them closely since I bought one, but the last I knew the older/originals brought at least $1500 on Gunbroker. It’s worth buying at the 800-900 price even if you only study it a while then trade it off. You will...
