Re: Calibre Competition
Although i love the 7mm because it's a very effective caliber in the game and as it seems it will be the winner, i voted for the .243, so that it gets a decent number of votes and draw the attention of the devs and give us a new rifle with that caliber in the near future!
I would really like that because .243 is kind of neglected and it offers a very good solution for medium to small game!

Re: Calibre Competition
I vote none of the above.
We already have 2 rifles in .243, 3 rifles in .223, 2 rifles in .308 plus 3 handguns in .308, 3 rifles in 7 mm. Why would we need yet another gun in the same calibre?
Why not something totally new for this gun, which looks fantastic by the way.
Couple of other options that this gun would be nice for:
1. .260 Remington (Good for small to medium game. Little more than a .243, but not quite a .270)
2. .280 Remington (Good for medium game)

Re: Calibre Competition
Why not allow us to have all calibers with a new feature like you did with the drilling and allow us to purchase the gun with interchangeable barrels. A lot of modern firearms these days are designed such that they can fire multiple calibers by swapping barrels. Sell it with the .243 as the standard and allow the other barrels as seperate purchases.

Re: Calibre Competition
Make new ammo for it just for the change , already 3 gun have the same 7mm ammoTod1d wrote:"The Steyr Scout is available in a choice of Black, Mud, Green and White, and it is available chambered in .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington and .308 Winchester calibers." - https://www.steyr-arms.com/us/steyr-scout.html
Is the 7mm in the poll the 7mm WM that we currently have in the game, or a new 7mm-08 round?
And i really suprised now dear EW in my 2year here i never seen thing like this you asked us what we want to see

Re: Calibre Competition
De-nerfing the weapons in the game would be awesome, love the k98 and was nerfed....miss herstancomputerhunter wrote:How about just de-nerfing the one we already have?

I'd love to see it in .308 for a challenge and game balancing reasons - since it provides help for a stable shot, you should at least be forced to hit a vital - but my experience is that the majority of players are not looking for game balance.
Once in a while, before waddling away, it holds up a sign that says, "is that you again, TK?"
The .308 is better than the 7mm....but not in this game lol

I second a .260 Remington option(all .243 current animals permitted plus+ enough power for Black/White Tail deer, Bighorn, Dall Sheep) still need to vote, soMills wrote:...

New Scout Rifle has a Magazine?? this answer will decide my vote between .243 and 7mm, and the reason that my vote will be to .243 follow is:
I love to use the Carbon .243 for Fox/Bobcat/Lynx/Coyote/Roo's/Roe Deer/Goats yes to weak for Dall/BT/WT Deer but even for Sitka Deer is a good option, but the issue of both current .243 rifles in Store is the lack of magazine!! The .243 and .270 are both original rifles next to .300 that are very precise and very good for long shots, the issue of the magazine is: bad shot at 100mts or more and for sure trophy will go away and prepare for a long tracking if is a Dall/Sitka/Coyote/Doe deer
Another question why .270 was not included?

Re: Calibre Competition
First: Thanks EW for make this with community involved, that's a great steep in the right direction imo.
Second: Like many others, i choose the 7mm caliber, i think it would be good to go prone and take long distance shots at medium/large animals using its build in bipod, and for make it count that shot you need a good calibre, from the choices available the 7mm seems the most efficient. Now, as seen in the description, the movement freedom will be restricted when prone, that's why i don't think this make a good weapon for follow-up shoots, and for that, not the best choice to be the new .243 imo.

Re: Calibre Competition
FWIW I think chambering this in 7mm is a bad idea. As I stated earlier the 7mm Mag is a long cartridge & is chambered only in rifles with long actions (heavy). The scout rifle concept is light, handy & quick. They are chambered in short action calibers & typically mounted with a low to medium power long eye relief scope. A rifle chambered in 7mm mag is the polar opposite of this concept of rifle.
IMO to make a rifle viable you need to embrace its strengths with a nod to its weaknesses. A rifle like this should have a capacity of about 2.5 (predicated on the rather generous capacities of other rifles), be limited to a 2-6 or 2-8 scope & chambered in a short action caliber. Otherwise its just another do everything gun that lacks any character.
