I have been wanting the inland scout for a couple years now also, but cant bring myself to put down $1200 either.
Ive been looking at the auto ordnance, trying to find out all i can about them.
They have a good rating on buds.
Between $700/$800.

But I am afraid the prices will be just as high as inland or auto ordnance, once the dealers get a hold of them.
Unless they come through the NRA.
Was on one forum, one guy from Hawaii said back in the sixties, they were selling them for $20/$40 dollars.
He said they used them for hog hunting.
Forget how big he said their hogs are over there, but said that 110 FMJ military ball ammo would go straight through a hogs head with no problem.
They make for an ideal scout rifle, what do they weigh? 5 or 6 lbs.
and you can put 50 rds in your back pocket and barely feel the weight
