I have owned this rifle for around 13 years , it's light weight,the recoil well it's a dream to shoot. I used to flinch with my Remington In 308. I have cleanly shot red ,fallow and roe in the UK as well as a massive boar.It will put a 3 shot group into one hole . My only negative is that the bi pod is loud to operate when in the field
Being able to feed rounds in one by one while the mag just sits there is great when you're on polar bear duty. You mostly shoot the gun in the air to scare the bear off, but it can take a few shots, although they don't have to be in quick succession. So you just reload one round into the bay before each shot and you still have a full mag ready in case the bear decides to take things to another level. You'd usually use a shotgun (with slugs) or lever action rifle for that ofc but having the option of using a bolt action like this is handy (308 is a bit small for that of course, but still)
I love that spare mag in the butt stock. I wish more rifles would have this feature. This is an expensive rifle, the ones I can see from retailers is like 2500 bucks, with the 2nd hand market hovering in the 900-1500 range depending. Looks like a winner though.
I have owned this rifle in .223 for several years and have mounted a regular Khales 3-9x40 scope rearward. I love it. It is very accurate. The clip has never caused me any grief, coffee or not. My bolt catches a little too (maybe not used enough yet). My main complaint is that the foregrip is so wide that when I carry it in my quadbike-mounted gun holder it is hard to fit in in a hurry and I have thereby torn the rubber coating off the inside of the holders. I would prefer if the foregrip was narrower or if the foregrip was not so acutely-angled at the outside edges. My .308 is a Browning BLR stainless takedown, which also serves nicely as a scout rifle with long eye relief scope that stays with the barrel when I take it down to carry in a backpack :) Thanks for the review.
There's a small strorage department in buttstock also at front of spare mag. Not really anything special, but you could maybe fit there boresnake or something.
Its Austrian, cousins to the Germans. Of course its over-engineered. Its also specifically designed to be a rifle with features that "if you could only take one" this would be the one.
Shh-tire Man-licker. The forward mounted scope is for a low power, IER intermediate eye relief scope. It's designed to allow both eyes to be open and to clearly see around the scope while not having such a wide discrepency of view between the left and right eyes, so you can quickly move the rifle to shoot at an enemy close to you and out of field of the bore of the rifle. You can keep both eyes open with a high magnification scope as well, but the difference in zoom between left and right eyes, causes problems when you have to shift your aim to an enemy 45 degrees from the bore. That first shot will probably go wide.
I removed the Millett-style sling swivels and replaced them with modern flush cup-style quick releases that use push button swivels. Very easy to do. Most people don't get the scout rifle concept until you've actually hunted with one. Lightweight and compact so that you can carry comfortably all day and not snag on brush. .308 caliber that is effective on any game animal in North America. Bolt action for accuracy and reliability. Detachable magazine so it is easy to unload and reload. Before Jeff Cooper and Steyr built this rifle, those things did not exist together in a production firearm. Now, everyone builds a Scout variant and for good reason. The Steyr offers a few unique features that I like. The locking bolt is good if you're using a climbing stand or hunting in brush. I've had brush and pack straps open the bolt of other rifles, even on Safe. You can silently unlock the bolt if you control the handle while you work the safety. The extra magazine in the stock is great for extra ammo and quick reloads and saves me from carrying a wallet with extra ammo. You can also continue hunting if you lose a magazine or have a magazine failure of some kind. I like the magazine latches because they are not easy to accidentally release, even while wearing gloves. I equipped mine with a standard mount (not forward mounted) 44mm objective scope and it fits very, very well and is still compact and lightweight.
It's a neat concept, a little gimmicky though. Do you really need all those "features" in a hunting rifle? If it's not going to be a hunting rifle, you'd be better served with a SERVICE rifle.
I have 2 of them one in a 308 and the other in a 223 both in stainless with fluted barrels. had them for many years and the bolt does not have the flat piece on the side of it, it is rounded like a normal looking bolt. Neither of them are threaded. great rifles I love them.
one thing you missed is that some of these scouts have a threaded barral, just wanted to throw that out there. Great video and i really enjoyed hearing your opinion on both the scout rifle concept and the rifle itself.
To wishy washy. Do you like the gun or not? Have you tried a Remington mod 700 action lately? Sloppy bolt, so-so trigger but at least they don't miss fire anymore when you engage the safety! The Savage scout is not even in the same zip code as the Steyr Scout Rifle. The Ruger Scout is not so bad but, Ruger cuts corners now in production to keep costs low. Sadly that's Ruger new business model. The Mossberg Scout is just laughable. The clear winner is the original and still reining champion "the Steyr scout Rifle."The attention to detail, the fit & finish, the cool gadgets like the built in bipod and spare magazine in the buttstock as well as the quality machine work are all absolutely superb on the Steyr scout. This clown can't make up his mind whether he likes the rifle or not. The trigger is superb straight from the factory set @ 3lbs but is adjustable if you prefer more or less pounds to your particular trigger pull. I have tried all of the current Scout offerings & with no bias I can say that the Steyr brand Scout rifle is clearly the way to go. Cheers gents.
i think out of scout rifle out there, Savage's offering is the best. for the price, it comes packed with features. Especially the adjustable trigger! Downside is, mags are hard to find and expensive. the rifle should come with 2 mags.. anyhow overall i feel like savage has done great.
Early model Mannlichers Schoenauers were one of the best made actions. Certainly a very smooth operating action. It’s now Steyr Mannlicher. Steyr Mannlicher are well made firearms, but not in the same class as those earlier rifles.I own both and my newer Steyr can’t hold a candle to the older Schoenauer . And it’s pronounced: Sti(Long I) … er. Man licker.
good review, nice to hear some honest opinions not some fanboy drool, plus I did learn a couple things about the gun, although its not like I am a huge fan and have looked into the gun alot, I got a wild hair and wanted to check it out, I watched the Steyr press vid about the gun thats it , I wanted a quick unbiased overview of the gun and thats exactly what I got, thanks. I think the safety is far too complicated as well, its nice the bolt can be pushed down for travel and all that, but that bolt handle springing up is pretty loud certainly enough to scare an animal if you were close. , plus I dont really think that plastic stop that pops up adds any "safety" to the safety for a hunting carry scenario, with a properly tentioned safety ive never had them move, even when brushbusting . All it does is add more things to go wrong, like you said about the 2 stop positions on the magazine. Funnily enough while watching the Steyr press release vid They showed the "single feed" position but didnt explain it so I thought the guy doing it had messed up and not inserted it all the way. Oh and FYI its pronounced "sh-tire mann-licker"
The Hunting Gear Guy you keep saying 'over engineered' but thats not true when you know that what the rifle requirements. You say the drop mag isn't useful which just shows a lack of hunting experience in the wilderness where you may have to switch ammo types pronto. E.g. Hunting deer and a bear comes a bouncing..
This guy just doesn't like this riifle b/c it's not affordable for him so he's set out to bash it. Don't listen to his garbage. With Steyr you're getting superior barrel, bolt and oeverall fantastic fit and finish .
Steyr build quality is top notch. Steyr barrels are likely the best production barrels to exist. Some of the more recent product designs lack insight and practicality, though. That retarded safety for example.
First order of business: never go without coffee!!! Furthermore, at my age I can still hit a target at 500 meters with iron sights. Never depend solely on optics.
+The Hunting Gear Guy I know but thats what Jeff Cooper wanted. I would like to see a modern scout rifle built to use stripper clips. to me that would be preferable to a detachable magazines.
It's an accidental discharge waiting to happen. How many goobers will be working the action to dry fire with a loaded magazine "thought" to be on the first click?
What you mean "you could think you chambered a round"? If you are not aware of your weapons status you shouldn't handle them at all. Always double check. If you "forget" that the mag is in the first position you are not worthy to handle this gun at all.
I guess it'd depend if you wanted to run a long eye relief scope or not. If you're going to stay true to the scout rifle concept, you'd need something long eye relief and wouldn't need much magnification. If you're going to run the scope near the rear of the receiver, you can use pretty much any "normal" scope. Personally, I think this rifle would be best paired with something like a 1-6 or 2-7.
The Hunting Gear Guy I see your point, im new to scout rifles myself, but they seem fun, so i wasnt sure if you needed a scope with that much eye relief. Thanks
Because Jeff Cooper wanted wide ammunition availability everywhere. Besides, 6/6.5mm is not going to do anything extra out of 16-19" barrel carbine that 308 is able to do. Even if it is a slick hammer forged barrel.
I'm thinking that the words ' over engineered' are an understatement in describing this rifle. Now this is not to say that I would not like to have one,...quite the opposite. Already I like what you've shown. Who is the dealer in Canada for these Steyr rifles ?
Reg Sparkes I'm pretty sure that North Sylva is the distributor. As far as retailers, there's Kelly's, Wolverine, Grouse River, etc. I see Kelly's has a 308 in stock right now. You could always touch base with North Sylva to see who your local retailer would be and then order through them.
"Steyr " is pronounced like "higher" with "st" and "Mannlicher" is not "Man licker" but "Mann" = like to vocal in "sun" plus "licher" and the "ch" is like the "ch" in "loch ness". Believe me, im from Austria.
After all that you said, you still pronounce this rifle to be the best of all the scout rifles out on the market? I think you should get some range time with the Savage and Ruger before making that conclusion. A crappy trigger does not justify a $2000 price tag. At least the Savage Scout has the Accutrigger and comes in at around $700.
Seriously? Ruger & savage are nowhere near this rifle. If all you can afford are Wally World specials, fine. But dis a gun that’s better just because you can’t afford it. It’s trigger is better.
I have a Ruger gunsite scout in 308 and a Mossberg MVP in 5.56, love both the rifles. Both are great shooters. Both are similar in appearance and i like it. That Steyr isnt very attractive. The options etc are nice...but its just ugly.
The manufacturing quality and engineering of the Ruger isn't in the same league as the Steyr. Ask a German hunter what he thinks of Steyr rifles then ask him the same question of Rugers .....
@@nothanks3590 ... I've shot the Ruger Precision Rifle in 308Win and I own a Steyr SSG04 in the same calibre. There is NO comparison in build quality and / or accuracy. I have shot the Steyr Scout in 308Win. It's not for me but there is no denying the quality of the rifle. Looks like you lose the bet.
i don't get it... you know this was never meant for hunting yeah? it was made for Paramilitary use... but yeah this rifle would have to be good in some way shape or form because its one of the most popular rifles in Australia at the moment (contrary to what people think guns are not banned in Australia that's a misconception there's just heavy licensing regulations the most popular rifle in Australia is actually the SKS) i was thinking about getting one of these but you kinda put me off it...
The Hunting Gear Guy I believe that Genola told you wrong. I am a hunter in Germany and used to own a Steyr Mannlicher Classic (.308). Steyr (pronounced Schtyr like flyer) Mannlicher (Mann-heavy on the 'a' the way the British speak and licher like wisher). Among German hunters a Steyr is considered to be a high quality, reliable (Austrian) rifle suited for the conditions encountered when hunting in Europe but then so is my made in Germany Blaser (pronounced blahzer) :-)
Quite a few of us Yanks that don't know the difference between Australia and Austria....About as many who don't know the difference between Swede and Swiss as well.
I've got better shots of the backup irons on my article: www.huntinggearguy.com/rifle-reviews/steyr-scout-review/ They're acceptable for backup purposes, but I wouldn't use them unless I was really up the creek without a paddle.
Not trying to hurt your feelings, but you might want to work on a script for your vids instead of rambling and saying, "thing" and "uh", or "I guess", or "I don't really know". It seems as though you are just making things up. You say you like or you don't like and you don't seem to have any reasons.

one of the reasons mounting the scope more in front is very simple. it allows you to have addional night visen scope.
willbury - According to Cooper, the forward mount scope is to allow the shooter to top load the rifle.
Wanted one of these then I thought it out and figured it is more of a toy for my purposes
3rd position on safety locks our firing pin so it can be carried more safely.
I agree with you about the trigger guard.

Struggling to decide between a 308 or a 223 Steyr Scout. Kinda wish the barrel was threaded for a muzzle brake or even a suppressor.
308. Frankly I don't understand the point of bolt action .223's
glad I found your chanel! enjoy it, I'm subscribing 👍👍👍👍
that safety wire just push 2 time from lock to fire position
So, would a leupold mark 4 be good on this? or is that too much?
for the .308 version of course, I mean
If that's the scope you love, why not run it?

+indeed this rifle was built to be a scout rifle, not specifically for paramilitary use. A hunting rifle is closer to what this rifle is intended for.
It was intended to be an all purpose rifle with hunting & defense from predators as primary uses.
it's pronounced "man licker"
genola Thanks. I knew I was going to butcher the name.
The Hunting Gear Guy
I believe that Genola told you wrong. I am a hunter in Germany and used to own a Steyr Mannlicher Classic (.308). Steyr (pronounced Schtyr like flyer) Mannlicher (Mann-heavy on the 'a' the way the British speak and licher like wisher). Among German hunters a Steyr is considered to be a high quality, reliable (Austrian) rifle suited for the conditions encountered when hunting in Europe but then so is my made in Germany Blaser (pronounced blahzer) :-)
KnoXy KnoXington I'll continue my policy of butchering all odd manufacture names ;)

HOW ABOUT THE iron sites.......no comment
I've got better shots of the backup irons on my article: www.huntinggearguy.com/rifle-reviews/steyr-scout-review/ They're acceptable for backup purposes, but I wouldn't use them unless I was really up the creek without a paddle.
please never attempt to say steyr mannlicher again
Just because you said that, it's going in the next video, whether it's related or not.
@@Huntinggearguy Oh Lord what have I done...
Barrel look bad.......aaaaaa

Not trying to hurt your feelings, but you might want to work on a script for your vids instead of rambling and saying, "thing" and "uh", or "I guess", or "I don't really know". It seems as though you are just making things up. You say you like or you don't like and you don't seem to have any reasons.
