Stainless Mountain in 7mm 08 would be cool.

Popped the Leupold off mine.
Digging out factory ammo.

376?

 

[Hookeye]

Nope, Mines a boring .30-06.
Thought a Scout in 376 would be cool though LOL

On my way to Alabama right now, just realized I'll only be 100 miles from Bessemer, so I'm going to head over and check out steyr usa.

Many years ago I had a Steyr SSG 308 target rifle. At 100 yds, it would put bullets on top of each other.

I found another STEYR

STEYR 08/34 - C61800

My uncle has a bolt in 7mm-08. He picked it up as a trade in when he worked in a gun shop, he knew exactly what it was. He said he'd never deer hunt with anything else, I'd love to find a stainless bolt action, from all I've read they are tack drivers! They hold their value, that tells me quite a bit.

I have a number of older Steyr Mannlicher Schoenauers.
1961 MCA 's , 1957 Mannlicher, my favorite with the big scalloped cheekpiece , that puts your eye exactly right. A couple 1952 Mannlichers. And my weakness ....Steyr Zephyr .22's.

My SSG 69 PII will shoot no wind 10 shot 1/2 MOA groups all the way out to 400 yards, that's the furthest I've shot it.

How does the Zephyr perform?

How does the Zephyr perform?

I just got a good scope on it late yesterday. So gonna be playing with it next few days, weather permitting

How does the Zephyr perform?

Ok so now that it has a respectable scope on it. First thing that's obvious is the long length of pull, 14.75. Which i don't mind, but smaller shooters would struggle. Second, the factory trigger settings needed to be tweaked in my opinion. Got it down to 1.5lb, but you can't take out 100% of the pre travel or you'll disable the safety. But i was able to take out abot 80%. Third, noticed the barrel was touching in the barrel channel, a little sanding with a dowel rod and freed that up.
I haven't taken it out back to my longer range yet since getting it set up. But just playing around in the back yard out to 70 yards using subsonic norma tac 22 hollow points and cci suppressor it's holding less than .5 groups.

Here's a Steyr K98 that was made for the Waffen SS and manufactured at Gusen Concentration Camp. I lucked into it at the SoS earlier this year. Being a Russian capture, I'm sure there's a lot of history to it!
