Steyr Scout proved itself today, short range report

Hogwash. You must conform to the rifle.

I did try the integral sights, I quite literally cannot push my cheek far enough into the stock to obtain a usable sight picture.

It helps to flip up the ghost ring... HEE.

lol.

Point taken!



And although I do not yet own a Steyr Scout, I have shouldered one recently. The flip-up integral ghost ring sight seemed to work for me, and comfortably. But then again, I am unusual. Hahaha...

Either way, I envy you this rifle. Congrats, again, on your acquisition of a great piece.

Hey I'm shopping for a Scout Master uniform already, I'll get there, promise

I paid $1400 shipped for this one, plus sales tax and transfer. I think a blued gun without the threaded barrel could probably be found for closer to $1100 or so.

Was that online, or a local store? I've been thinking of hunting one down for a couple of years now.

I think I may not be looking in the right places.

Online, but not an auction site. I searched all the usual auction sites and was pretty convinced the one I wanted was going to cost $1799. I did a plain google search and ran across one from a dealer for $1400. There's a very similar rifle on gunbroker right now for the same starting price: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=432616632

How tough are the mags?

What type of extractor do they use?

What is the rifling twist rate?

The mags are metal, seem plenty tough.

Don't know about extractors or twist, sorry, I'm just an end-user, not well-versed in the details.
