Do any of you own Steyr Rifles?

How accurate are they?

Thanks,

Reloader

I own four Steyrs and they are extremely accurate. They are the most accurate out of the box guns that I own.

Currently they are being imported by:
Steyr Mannlicher USA, Inc.
311 Hwy 45 Alt. South
West Point, MS 39773

Tel.662-492-8924

steyrmannlicher@bellsouth.net

I have just gotten a "Classic Mannlicher" and it is very accurate. Tony Rosetti of Steyr USA is a very good person to deal with.

I have an SBS Prohunter in .376 Steyr. Very accurate. I have a Scout in .308. I just love it. Accurate and reliable. The safeties are in a good position (on the tang). Hard to describe the trigger pull, not bad at all, just different. I'd get another one in a heart beat.

I own three Steyr SBS rifles and am very happy with them. All three are very accurate and they have good triggers. I have yet to hear of one that would not shoot. Buy one and try it for yourself, I doubt that you will be disappointed in its performance.

The only knock that some people have on the Prohunter rifles is the flimsy stock and the appearance of the gun.

I own a Steyer S in .300 W.mag since 1994, its the old model with rear locking lugs and safety on the right side of the action.

It was the first rifle I owned and I LOVE IT, it is very accurate and I really like the smoothness of the bolt. Apart from that its a beautiful rifle.

I would not hesitate to buy another Steyer Mannlicher rifle.

If any of you want another I have a 7 Mag Forester for sale down in the classified forum. Great rifle, I just never use it.

Never, ever, saw a Steyr that would not "shoot"!

All you have to do is keeping the screws tight. No rebedding, no free floating, no rebarreling, use good ammo and you will find a load ( or lots of it ) that will reliably shoot under or slightly above one inch.

Look at Steyrs Superlight!

I don�t like their feel on repeating, but I never have to worry about accuracy in a Steyr!

Have fun, Hermann

I have owned 4 Steyr rifles. All were very accurate. I also have quite a bit of experience with several other SSG rifles in 308. Those too were very accurate. I can safely say that the accuracy of a Steyr is pretty much a sure thing.
