My Blaser R8 is a good example, as that is very hard to actuate easily without dropping the rifle from the firing position.

Though eminently safer, as if the action is not cocked it can’t fire accidently, experience has shown me that some systems are harder to operate than others. I was initially surprised to see a de-cocking system. This drops it to around 1 lb, which is light for hunting use so, just be aware. Standard pull is around 3lbs, which is nice and crisp, but you can set it lighter by pushing the rear of the blade forward until it clicks. The trigger guard is moulded-in and big enough for a gloved finger, the blade is broad and nicely curved, and the mechanism offers a single set option. The receiver is close-topped, yet with a generous and long ejection port, so no problem getting your finger inside or single loading!įeed is from a polymer, 4-round box magazine with integral release catches.

The barrel shows Steyr’s signature hammer-forged build with its distinctive, exterior spiral pattern. Good on your shoulder but could be a bit lively in recoil, although its 20” barrel was not ‘whip thin’ as some Mountain guns, but at 7.3 lbs (un-scoped) thankfully not as light as it could be.Ĭalibre choice is generous, although not all will get the best out of that 20” tube: 222 and 223 Rem, 243, 308 and 270 Win, 7mm-08 Rem, 7圆4, 30-06, 25-06 Rem, 6.5x55, 8x57 JS and 9.3圆2. The Mountain name indicates a slimmer/lighter build that is easier to carry, but the downside is normally a shorter barrel and reduced weight. The forend is rectangular and tapers to an under-cut tip in all, making for a handy package. An integral aluminium bedding block ensures maximum accuracy potential too. The new SX stocks come in a pleasing olive green and are far more rigid than what came before. in a range of calibres, and barrel lengths. On test, is their Mountain model in 30-06 but there are also The Light, Standard, Semi-Weight and Stainless. There are five options, all with the green SX stock. Jumping ahead, the SM12 SX uses the same bolt design and action but replaces the roller safety with a tang-mounted de-cocking system. Steyr sorted this, but the introduction of their CL II saw the much improved SX synthetic furniture option. More main stream was their Pro Hunter series, which was marred in the early versions by the overly flexible synthetic stock. I owned one of their Scout Rifles for some time and liked it. Which, like similar systems, is fast and does not disturb the shooting position. Next came the SBS 69 action (safe bolt system) the familiar butter knife bolt handle remained, as did the monk’s cowl shroud but the side-mounted sliding catch of the SSG was replaced by a 3-position, tang-mounted roller safety. This distinctive design has served as the basis for all their future, fullbore models, albeit with subtle changes to controls and feed systems. Their original SSG (sharp shooting rifle) was top choice amongst bolt-gunners back in the day. Steyr Mannlicher have always had a good rep for offering accurate rifles, which has been appreciated by many sporting shooters, be it on paper or in the hunting field.
