I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the Steyr is a good looking rifle, thank you Brian for posting that photo. Guys, I sincerely appreciate all your comments and opinions. You try and find a bad thing said about a Sako.:?: Then of cause there was the rumor about Mannlicher selling 5 millon pounds worth of 50 cal’ sniper rifles to the Iranian Republican Guard, the USA tried to block the export license, but the Germans got round it by saying they were for Police action only.

STEYR MANNLICHER LUXUS TIL SALGS FULL
I have three friends that have/had Mannlichers, one has a UltraLight and loves it, another had a classic and it was a devil to get any decent groupings out of it, it went and he got a Sako 85, the other mate had a full length stock carbine, he had wanted one for years, he had so much trouble with it that in the end he would not sell it private and traded it for a Sako 75 finlight. The Mannlichers have had problems with flexi forends, not feeding from the mag’ the SBS bolt is not to everybody’s liking, the accuracy can take some sorting out, all of this has been covered in old threads. The old M72 and SSG were good rifles, the new ones appeal because they are comparatively cheap. Mannlichers can have there issues, if you look back over some of the old threads you will see what I mean. Thank you for any help/advice in advance. I would be interested to hear any thoughts, opinions, pros, cons, regarding these two rifle/scope combinations, if one would be more preferable to you and why. The package deal offered on both rifles were within a couple of hundred pounds with the Steyr coming out slightly cheaper. Sako has a metal magazine, Steyr a plastic one.Īlso the scope option is another dilemma, a Schmidt & Bender 8x56 or a Zeiss 3-9x50? The Sako action was very loose and rattled whereas the Steyr was tight and felt nice to operate. The Sako is a popular rifle as we know and a decent tool for the job but the Steyr also has it's appeal.īoth are good looking rifles but the Steyr is a prettier gun. I had initially decided a Sako 85 would be the rifle I would most likely end up with but on my visit to a gun dealer today I was introduced to the Steyr-Mannlicher Classic half stock. 300 Weatherby Magnum.With the arrival of my FAC hopefully due on the horizon within the next few weeks I took a market research trip today to look at some rifles. The Steyr Mannlicher SM 12 is available in the following calibers: The fact that the rifle will perform equally well both in the hunting fields and the target shooting range inspired the manufacturer to create a new definition for the SM12: The “Crossover rifle”.
