They are a bit on the heavy side bigfella but a bit lighter than the Lithy's I reckon, I don't mind the weight though. They aren't everyone's cup of tea in the looks department but they float my boat, much like the Lithy, different strokes and all that....what really sold me on the Steyr more than anything was the way it fits my frame, such a comfortable well balanced rifle for me personally, couple that with reviews of excellent accuracy and I just had to have one...
Yeah mine found the same mate, not sure where or how he came to the conclusion they were made in Lithgow (might have been the Steyr 88's he was thinking of?) either don't really matter to me where things are made these days just so long as they are well made,
She will serve you well for sure, I do like their safety setup, locks the bolt in place etc, should prevent em from falling out like some apparently do and the mags seem well made too from the vids I've seen.
I look forward to seeing how it shoots mate when you get it.
