As noted earlier the 7615 from Remington was probably the best solution to the problem. If It didn't go over I can't see an AR lookalike doing any better. I could be wrong, but just don't see the market for it.

Fortunately I have no restrictions on AR ownership. If I did, I'd much prefer a pseudo- scout type bolt rifle. I have no use for forward mounted scopes, but a 5-6 lb bolt rifle with a 1-4X scope mounted conventionally and a 5-10 round DBM would be preferable to a pump action AR in my opinion.

None of the bolt rifles marketed as a scout rifle would interest me, nor any of the pump actions.
