At the rear is a shroud with a cocked action indicator pin that protrudes. It locks by a 4-lug (twin-opposed) bolt at the front, which engages directly with the chamber extension, which takes all the pressure. The SBS action shows a big bolt with cut-outs to stop the build up of dirt etc. The Standard’s is 22” and well suited for popular UK calibres 243/308 Win. Rifles are identical with the exceptions of weight and barrel length for example the Magnum weighs 7.5 lbs with a 25” barrel, whereas the Mountain is 7.3 lbs with a 20” tube. Model options include: Magnum calibres, Mountain, Semi Weight, Light/fluted and Stainless steel. I imagine that this has been done for the UK as we do not use irons that much, and it’s ready threaded ½ x 20 UNF with a thread protector.Ĭalibre choice in the Standard is: 243 Win, 6.5x55 Swedish, 270 Win, 7圆4, 30-06, 308 Win, 8x57 and 9.3圆2. The barrel is distinctive with their trade mark, spiral, cold, hammer-forged finish, this the Standard model shows a light/medium, 22” tube and no iron sights. The closed-topped receiver shows a generous ejection port that allows reasonably easy single loading. The SBS action and look blends both old and modern aspects of Steyr rifles in general. However the SBS action is just that bit different from say a Remy 700 or similar as we shall see! On test is a CL II SX in 243 Winchester, which really impressed me no end! In truth nothing has changed apart from the stock, but that is the thing that makes the real difference. Now called the CL II, which is the wood-stocked version it’s also available in a synthetic option - the SX - which is where we really see the differences between it and the old ProHunter! BETTER BY FAR Well things have changed considerably as what is pretty much the same gun as before is now fielded with vastly improved furniture that makes it the design it always promised to be. Steyr apparently tried to beef up the stock a bit but with limited success and though liking what the ProHunter offered mechanically and having tested a few versions I would not bother. The ProHunter sadly a design let down by its synthetic stock, which was far too flimsy, as it uses the exact same SBS (Safe Bolt System) feed and action as the Scout. I owned one for six years and really liked it. The Scout well probably one of the most radical designs ever offering a number of features that made it in some ways a go anywhere do anything bolt-action. The SSG is more a sniper/ precision option that used to be the preferred bolt-gun for those shooting Practical Rifle pre-1988. Steyr Mannlicher for me really means three sporting rifles – the SSG 69, the Scout and the ProHunter of these it’s the last that is perhaps the most general product.
