Cheers fxol, legend mate.
Spewing the Varmint is double the price at the moment!

Yep, the Pro Varmints have always been twice the price. Fluted barrel, picatinny rail, set trigger are the differences. The 223 HB pro hunter is great value. A mate has one and like all steyrs I've shot, very accurate. But the 250 only comes as a Pro Varmint.

Yeah got a hankering for a 250 and handled the pro Varmint the other day and was very impressed. Bloke at the shop told my mate the 223 stainless pro hunter heavy barrel has a set trigger standard? Would you rate your pro Varmint against a Sako (action etc) and how have you found the stock it did flex but most plastic stocks do?

Anyone tried the 75amax in these yet? 1:9 I believe so may be borderline. Apparently some 1:9 will some won’t...
80 smk will be to long for sure.

My opinion on these hasn't changed, excellent rifle, my go to when head shooting foxes, Roos, cats over the front of the quad at night, super accurate, very rarely misses what it's pointed at, entirely my fault if it does..

I own Sako and Steyr. Different guns and both are great. To be honest, I feel like the Steyr draws on it's military background. They aren't dainty rifles, but they are super accurate and strong. The stock is fine, mine flexes but doesn't touch the barrel.

My scout ranger is one of the nicest rifles Ive owned and shot.....
