I’d love for them to put into print re steyrs response so prospective purchasers know what they are in for.

Winchester has now offered to replace the rifle...
They haven’t made any other stipulations other than they believe this is over and above...
This is positive and a step forward but...
The problem is - if they replace like for like, it’s a lucky dip and I could find myself in the same situation.
So I’ve given them 3 options to now consider;
A fully tested and guaranteed replacement with proof of testing (180gn projectiles).
A full refund inclusive of ancillaries.
A credit with a further discount to a proven and guaranteed steyr platform - ie discounted upgrade.
Will now await again their response - I’m still fully prepared to formalise a complaint...but I think Winchester have a good chance to restore some faith here...

a replacement would be good if they can assure you that it will shoot the 180's
there are plenty of good story's about the steyr, it's just you have been tested by the salesman
how many people have had similar problems with all sorts of brands and just give up and accept that that is the way it is
if you had listened to the salesman you wouldn't have pushed back Tassie but it's all good now

WincheSter have tested a “number” of steyr rifles and cannot better the groupings with 180gn bullets - that is 2.5” is the best they can achieve.
A refund is being processed.
Guess I need to put in another permit to acquire now and wait that out as well...
But at least it finalises this long standing issue...
