Quick Navigation Tactical Rifles and Carbines Top The PH with HB will do admirably in both departments - I can vouch for that! If you want to see the Steyrs - I am in Pretoria or as you mentioned at Classic Arms in Witbank

I have sold 2 other tacs, an Elite which is registered under collector and a SSG69 for hunting with the app for license still pending.
#STEYR MANNLICHER CLASSIC PRICE PRO#
The Pro Hunter 308 I am referrin to is in fact the heavy barrel model but without the extended mag kit, it also tkaes normal bases and rings for scope fitment. Its no problem to shoot and recoil is like any other for me even with the rather hard pad - the Steyr has a well designed stock and ergos. I shot the Pro Hunter 308 quite a bit since my friend broke his shoulder blade at the time he got the rifle and could not shoot it for barrel break in and scope setup. I'll just call it the Elite and they have been registered before as such. 308 is for "hunting" and the Elite is just that - its actually HB variation on the scout. 308 if he has experienced any excessive recoil as a result of the Synthetic stock making the rifle a bit on the light side. I would be very interested to hear from your friend who owns the. 308 can double as a hunting rifle and a target shooting rifle. In any case, it seems to me as if Pro Hunter in. To me it seems as if it was simply replaced by the SSG-04, and classified under the "Sporting weapons" section, instead of the Hunting Weapons. It used to be called the Pro Hunter Tactical, but is no longer offered on their website. 308 with a heavy barrel and with the 10 round extended magaine kit. I emailed Steyr in Austria, and they confirmed that they can offer the Pro Hunter in.

Essentially the Pro Hunter is the same gun as the Steyr SSG04, apart from the heavy barrel and the enlarged bolt handle. I assume that you live in South Africa? If so, how do you get a license for the Tactical Elite? I have spent many hours drooling over the pictures on Steyr's website, and have come to the conclusion that the Pro Hunter Synthetic is probably the closest that a South African could come to owning something like that. You will not be sorry if you buy a Steyr.Ĭontact me and let me know what cal you want and I will find out about availability and try and get you a better price. I also have a Tikka 9,3圆2 Hunter T3 model - also very accurate - probably the same as the Steyr but I like the Steyr more. The Steyr Pro Hunter Mountain rifle 9,3圆2 is imo the best all round bushveld rifle and caliber - the 9,3 cal is beyond reproach, the rifle is light and short, easy to carry an extra loaded mag, and it is very safe. Is the Sako better than the Steyr - I say no! prove it. Is it better than a Sako? - I do not know. Proprietary matt coating on the barrel and action - anti corrosive and very durable. I shot two shots through the same hole with this rifle and a 12xpower scope.Ĭomfortable to shoot - I like the stock design a lot in contrast to Craig's experience with it. The Elite shoots 1/2moa on a good day with a Leupold MkIV on 22xpower and the Pro hunter 9,3 is on about 3/4moa.

The two 9,3's both shoots moa (and sub on a good day) with handloads and 8x power scope. A very nice safety feature is that the 3 position safety which sits comfortably on the tang allows for the primed bolt to be "locked" down by a push ensuring firing pin deactivation.Īll the above rifles are superbly accurate out of the box. All feature the SBS bolt system which is most probably one of the strongest commercial bolt systems in the business as well as the safest = Safe Bolt System. My 9,3 is very light and has a 20" barrel - on the 9,3 it kicks a bit but I guess it is still less recoil than on a 375H&H.Īll the above rifles are very well finished. Sorry Craig I am with Wolfe (the link you provided) on this one. My friend has a Pro Hunter 308 and a Classic 9,3圆2 and a Scout. I have the Pro Hunter Mountain rifle in 9,3 x 62 and a Tactical Elite 308.
