Thread: Steyr Prohunter

Got one in 6.5x55 Swedish with the 20" mountain barrel. Fantastic rifle, which in my view leaves the Tikka T3, Howa, and most other mid range Synthetic stock rifles for dead.

Positives:
Good weight and balance, very comfortable position when carrying with a sling.
Very well built, robust, and can take a lot of punishment.
Super accurate and rapid target acquisition due to the stock ergonomics.
Stock length of pull is fully adjustable, you can lengthen or shorten by installing or removing extra spacer plates (you can buy extras)
Very unique safety and bolt removal rotrary switch (great once you get use to it)

Negatives:
Barrels can't be replaced by a gunsmith as they are a special pressed in arrangement which can only be done by Steyr
Standard recoil plate is not great, but Steyr sell a soft recoil pad as an accessory that just clicks into place in 10 seconds.
Extra magazines are quite expensive to purchase (but most European magazines are anyway these days)
