Steyr rifles not popular?

[Triang]

Hi,

Wondering how many people here have a Steyr rifle?

The Australian military uses Steyr AUG's as we know, which I guess is high praise... Never see a Steyr bolt action at the range though?

A few yanks seem to like 'em, but no where near the fanbase for Remington, Ruger, Tikka or any of the rest.

Any reason their bolt actions rifles don't have much of a following here?

Triang.

Cost would be the first thing that comes to mine for me.

Their synthetic stock sporter is about $1,900 or something from memory.

Walnut hunter is $3,000.

Not exactly loose change.

No shortage of quality choices on offer for that money either...

[Seconds]

Their Scout rifle is $3,200 or something too

At a grand, now wonder the Ruger Gunsight Scout is so popular.

Steyr make some fine rifles, but at two or three times the price they're never going to be as widely adopted as a Tikka, Ruger, Howa and so on.

I'd have a Steyr AUG in a heart beat

If we were allowed

Good luck with that.

When you sort it out I'll take one as well

[Hatter]

Everyone love's an AUG.

An ex-army mate of mine has some mad photos and videos of his unit training with them in East Timor from years ago.

Put me down for a Steyr HS .50

One of my favourite single shot rifles...

[howtow]

The trusty old Barrett isn't the favourite for the .50 cals?

I wouldn't say they're not popular mate. I have a savage 1895 and it's pretty good for a hundred year old rifle . The newer models seem to be overpriced though since you can pay $1000 for a rifle that does the same as a $3000 Steyr rifle

Hey mate,

Wasn't suggesting their unpopular because they're a bit crap or anything

Just curious why they didn't have a bit more of a following.

Like you aid others said, the price seems like a serious barrier for many.

If you like I can pretend to chuck a tantrum and ban you?

Sound good?

[Kipper]

Put me down for a Stery HS .50

Phwoar, yes please.

Just needs a 10 shot mag and I'm sorted

They do a 5 shot magazine for this now.

"By popular demand"

[Triang]

A HS .50 with a 5 shot mag would do me just fine

[Bourt]

A HS .50 with a 5 shot mag would do me just fine

Yeah, good luck with that permit

[Dylan.m]

for 2 grand you can build your own match grade rifle,

Im sure styar is good but maybe not that good

[pmomd]

For 2/3 the price I'd go a DIY match rifle over a Steyr any day.

[Fujix]

I just don't think we need weapons around that can shoot down air craft that all. but im off the mind pully bow should be restricted as well, it kinda dum people being able to get weapons that powerfull with out a permit, plus there totally silent as well.
