[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1353401, member: 12995"] We sold tons of Steyr's back when I worked at the gun store. Customers loved them. We got them in by the truckload. We would run them on sale for $399 for blued, $499 for stainless. That may seem cheap, but you have to remember, this was 15+ years ago, and Steyr was not a very well-known rifle here in the U.S. market, and had to compete with the big names that have been around for over a century, so they priced them very very affordably. For a small fee, we would mount scopes and go sight-in a rifle for the customers on Saturday mornings, and I've shot more than my share of them, and those cold hammer-forged barrels are REALLY accurate. Folks would come in to get their kid their first deer rifle, they'd buy the Steyr because it was so cheap, and we would help them pick out a scope, and rings, and all that stuff and get it all installed and bore-sighted for them. After a few weeks, they would come back in and talk about how accurate it was, and they would buy one for themselves. We sold tons of them. I wouldn't mind finding a stainless SBS Pro Hunter in 7mm RemMag with the 25.6" barrel. Just like this...
