[QUOTE="Subsonic Flyer, post: 194973, member: 2882"] [b]Steyr Prohunter[/b] Hi Steve It looks as though no one else has a Steyr so here goes. I have two Prohunters one standard 24" in .243 and the heavy barrel 26" version in .308. Are they quality rifles - in my opinion yes......... let me qualify that. Both of mine are off the shelf with no modifications other than the Steyr two stage trigger I fitted to the .308 (originally it had the standard single set) I reload for both of them and the .243 is a consistent 0.5" rifle using 100g Sierras and the .308 using 155g Amax is a 0.25" rifle. I have good glass on them, Schmidt & Bender scopes which helps me but that does not affect the group size. I shoot with a group of friends on an informal basis out to 600 yards; several of them have custom rifles costing three times what I paid for mine and they don’t perform any better. The Steyr is a modern looking rifle which may not appeal to everyone but if you are looking for off the shelf accuracy look no further. Good Luck SF [/QUOTE]
