Thanks for the input guys.
At my local they have a lot of 223's and 243's on the shelf but not a massive amount of bigger calibers.
I have been waiting weeks already for a gun to come in that was never going to arrive thanks to the supplier and I have a trip away this weekend so I'm going to buy something off the shelf which isn't going to break the bank.
They do have a Remington 700 package there for a little more than what the Steyr will cost me but I'm a little wary of Remington's as my mate has one and has had a fair bit of trouble with it.
I going in this morning to make my decision, I'll let you know what I pick up.
